Description 222 pages : illustrations, maps ; 19 cm Series Geography readers ; v. 1. Summary "The [first] story features three Queensland children and their two cousins, visiting from New Zealand, and is set in North Queensland, with much of the plot revolving around sugar cane plantations and the mill situated there. Because the visitors know nothing about sugar cane, the book ... gives an opportunity to explore the ins and outs of sugar production, but there are other interesting little snippets of social history dropped in here and there as well."--Page 11. The second story tells of Verena from Welby who travels to New Zealand to stay with her uncle on his sheep station for a year while she convalesces from scarlet fever.
