Bunyip Land: A Story of Adventure in New Guinea
Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England
"Bunyip Land: A Story of Adventure in New Guinea" by George Manville Fenn is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows young Joe Carstairs, a boy from Australia whose father went missing during an expedition to New Guinea. Determined to find him, Joe sets out on an adventure accompanied by an eclectic crew, including a local doctor, an Aboriginal worker named Jimmy, and a stowaway named Jack Penny. The narrative hints at themes of bravery, exploration, and the clash of cultures as they encounter challenges in their quest. At the start of the story, we are introduced to Joe, who dreams of rescuing his botanist father, presumed captured by natives in New Guinea. His resolve sparks a heated conversation with Nurse Brown, who disapproves of his adventurous aspirations. Joe eventually gains the support of the local doctor, who shares his concerns and desires to search for the professor. As preparations unfold, we meet Jimmy, who expresses his eagerness to join the expedition. The story sets the stage for their journey filled with anticipation and the promise of danger as they embark on their quest, showcasing both the excitement of youth and the complexities of familial love.
