Description

Although Adam Scott is a design engineer for Struthers-Ergen, he has strong links with his upbringing on an outback cattle station in the state of Victoria, Australia. When he receives strange letters from his ailing grandfather in a rest home in Melbourne, he decides to combine a visit to him with a survey of irrigation needs in Victoria. The grandfather dies before he gets to Melbourne, but the mystery of the letters containing crude sketches of a boomerang remain. Adam visits the family’s long-abandoned cattle station and recalls times when, just as the station was about to succumb financially, his grandfather would disappear and return with money to bail it out. While Adam is in Australia, the firm is slowly losing money through the unexplained loss of contracts. Will there be a link between the last-minute bailing out of the cattle station and recovery of the irrigation manufacturer? Written in a fast-paced style, this book will appeal to the adventurous.

Author Biography:

When the author exchanged the demands of life as a university academic for the relative peace of an orchardist in the far north of New Zealand, he found time to reflect on his wanderings in other parts of the world. These included London and the Australian outback and musings on possible adventures there provide the basis for this book. or The rigours of the demands made on a member of the teaching staff at a New Zealand university were fortunately punctuated with occasional trips to the Australian outback where the author could fantasise on possible adventures there. Or A necessary part of being a university academic included presentation of research papers at overseas conferences. Occasionally, recreation time following attendance at a conference in say London or Melbourne, allowed exploration of the area. Wandering in London and the Australian outback provide the settings for this adventure.
