| Imagine his alarm when Jimmy finds one of Santa’s elves dangling from a
tree in his backyard ‘like a Christmas decoration’ late on Christmas
Eve.
How will he get him back to Santa before he finishes his Australian run with
only the help of a grumpy sugar glider and his mate, a couple of koalas and a
mob of kangaroos?
With daybreak nearly here, the race is on…
Author Bio-Bennie Lee is a naturalised Australian having migrated in 1973 from
the north of England with a young wife in the hope of a better lifestyle.
He has worked as a fitter in Brisbane, Mackay, Gladstone and on various construction
sites, finishing up at Tarong Power Station, Nanango, Queensland. His family,
now including two young daughters, enjoyed the country lifestyle so much that
they purchased a block of land, built a house and stayed. Bennie has now been
a cleaner at Nanango State School for over sixteen years.
When he is not keeping their five acre property under control, he enjoys reading
and writing poems and short stories and spends a lot of time arguing with a computer
that he is attempting to come to terms with.
