Downs Creek River Rescue

Book Two of the Outback Blues Series
By Stephen Bowker

Two missing children. An unforgiving wilderness. An unlikely friendship that could save their lives.

When seven-year-old David and his six-year-old sister, Chrystal Armstrong, vanish from their family's remote homestead near Downs Creek, their disappearance sends shockwaves through the small country town. As their frantic family and local police organise a desperate bush search, the children are fighting for survival.

Swept down the treacherous Mount Cummings River in the darkness of night, David and Chrystal somehow manage to drag themselves to safety. But escaping the river is only the beginning of their ordeal.

Lost in the vast Australian wilderness, the children must endure searing heat, hunger, dangerous wildlife and the constant struggle to find their way home.

When they befriend a young dingo, an extraordinary bond develops. The animal becomes their unlikely protector, helping them find food and water and defending Chrystal from a dangerous snake.

But the challenges keep coming. Chrystal falls into a silo, David injures himself in a fall and must use a walking stick, and the children face a terrifying encounter with a charging bull.

With their family desperately searching, David, Chrystal and their loyal dingo companion must summon every ounce of courage to survive.

Downs Creek River Rescue is a heartwarming Australian adventure of courage, survival, sibling love and the extraordinary friendship between two lost children and a wild animal.

Will David and Chrystal overcome the dangers of the Australian wilderness and finally make it home?
