The Champions – a quirky family of Mum, Dad, twelve-year-old Brett, his whimsical younger brother Shane, and their spirited dog, Rover – relocate to Australia in search of sunnier skies. Deciding on an authentic outback camping experience to economize, they venture far from civilization, setting up camp amidst Australia’s untamed wilderness. Soon, they find themselves hilariously ill-equipped to handle Australia’s unpredictable weather, wild creatures, and other unexpected challenges. But the most pressing question remains: In the midst of all the chaos, can they navigate the antics and dynamics of their own family bonds? Dive into this rollicking adventure where nature meets nurture, Australian style!
Joan Stammers first began writing poems for friends and family birthdays. She then attended writing classes and discovered a lifelong passion for the written word. Although this is her first children’s story, she’s had three short stories published in national magazines in Australia and has won prizes in competitions. She’s also a regular poetry contributor to her local community magazine. Joan still attends a weekly writing group, is a member of two book clubs, and does voluntary work for the local library. When not busy with her literary pursuits, Joan spends time with her ever-growing family. She has three children, six grandchildren, and even more in her extended family.

To all you readers from England, welcome to Australian camping experiences. Joan paints a wonderful picture of camping adventures down under & packs in lots of (traumatic) experiences. I think she may have experienced them.
However, don’t be deterred from coming here to experience our wonderful camping grounds.
This book is a good read for all ages and the adventure that the Champion family has could become a reality.
