When I was a child, about 40 years ago, I read a book that takes place in Australia. A boy went on a really long trip by himself across Australia. The most memorable part was when he swam with some sea turtles and held on to one of their shells and was pulled along. I can’t remember many more details, but it was quite a long book; not a picture book.
I’d love to re-read this book and pass it on to my niece and nephew. Does it ring a bell with any of you Aussies?
