title: Australian Adventure, By Maria Wolkowsky
author: Cover illustration by Mary Gernat
description: "The throb of the drums began. The women half-chanted, half-sang the words, and sometimes the men look up the chanting as they danced. Brighter and brighter burned the flames, wilder and wilder grew the music. Until with one frenzied shout the dance was over. Suddenly Ted seized Peter's arm in shock as they lay hidden in the bushes, for into the silence strode the Witch-Doctor! The corroboree! And Margaret and Peter, fresh from England to the outback of Australia, had become involved in it!" [from back cover]
