- Summary:
-
"If Turkey had not wanted to administer his special shock treatment to âÂÂHorse-faceâ Morgan, things might have turned out very differently on the canoeing holiday. But a torn scrap of paper which Morgan dropped led the tree boys, Turkey, Dick and Possum the aborigine, to search for an old river-steamer sunk in a disused waterway. Laughter and thrills abound on the cruise of the Nifty Duck, and the reader will feel like a member of the crew as the boys sweep him (or her) along through some of AustraliaâÂÂs vast plain and remote country districts. In his two previous books of this most successful series, Ray Harris, the Australian author, established Turkey and his friends as firm favourites with innumerable boys and girls. This new story will endear the Australian boys still further to those who already know them, and undoubtedly it will gain them new friends amongst reader who have not met them before." -- Dust jacket.
