Three cousins. One duct-taped crown. A whole continent of wild wonder. Ricky, Ray & Rusty Trek the Outback: Kangaroos, Crocs & Courage follows the Rocky Ridge crew from Sydney’s kangaroo sanctuary to the Great Barrier Reef, crocodile rivers, the Daintree Rainforest, Uluru’s blazing sunrise, and the big-sky Outback—where emus judge your hat and wombats demand the right of way. Blending laugh-out-loud moments with bite-size “Field Notes,” this faith-forward adventure shows kids how courage looks like wisdom —stinger suits in jellyfish country, hands inside the boat with crocs, clean camps that don’t invite “inspectors,” and kind choices that honor God’s creatures. STEM smarts: coral polyps, mirages, dust storms, goannas, and more—explained simply. - Creation care: stewardship in action—tidy, listen to locals, give wildlife space. - Bible heartbeat: Joshua 1:9 anchors every chapter—“wherever you go.” - Interactive: end-of-chapter questions spark family or classroom discussion. Perfect for ages 7–12, homeschool families, classrooms, church libraries, and anybody who loves science, animals, and a good giggle. If you want a story that entertains and equips kids to travel wisely, respect creation, and trust God when visibility drops to zero—this book is your boarding pass. Bonus: Includes a glossary, Word Search puzzle, Australian wildlife safety tips, and a “courage souvenirs” wrap-up kids can use at home.
