When Charles Finn's dad took a sabbatical from university and agreed to head up a research program into farmland salinity, it might have been all right but the farmland was in Australia! Why not Paris or London or LA?! Somewhere where things might happen! But Tingalla, on the Murray River, was not only in the boonies, it was off the map. What follows is a series of modern day comedy-adventures featuring Chuck, his new give-as-she-takes friend Sarah, a paddle-wheel steamer and some rather odd ghosts including an Elvis wanna-be from the 1950s.
This series continues to follow the fortunes of Chuck Finn, Sarah and the gang as they struggle to run the Tingalla Rose and retain the mail contract without a skipper. They also fight off a takeover bid on the Tingalla Rose while at the same time Sarah comes to terms with her new-look father.
The first day at any new school is always tough but when your schoolmates can run 100 metres in 11 seconds, clear 1.8 metres in the highjump and include the national junior champions in ten Olympic sports...you have to be a winner. The second series follows the fortunes of the soccer team as they strive for a place in the league play-offs. The team's problems on the field are complicated by problems off the field as allegiances and alliances between the kids (divided into Book Worms and Sports Freaks) shift and develop.

Mick, Ned and Danni Bourke live in the strange town of Wormwood where the economy depends on worms, noses run (literally) and boys can fly (badly).
