Black As Turtle Island Upset
The boys head up a massive tidal river and hunt for crocs. They cook some lunch and then head off for the island. After arriving at the island the boys catch enough fish to fill the esky. They go exploring around the small island. Along the way they find a turtle. It is turned over to prevent it escaping. On their way back home, the engine on the dinghy breaks down. The boys try desperately to start it but have no luck. They are now adrift with no drinking water.
Join the Black As boys and go bush as they venture into the wilds of Arnhem Land, hunting for adventure and a hearty feed.
