product description

Join Skippy and her pals, head ranger Matt Hammond (Ed Devereaux), his two sons Mark (Ken James) and Sonny (Garry Pankhust), best friend Clancy (Liza Goddard) and flight ranger Jerry King (Tony Bonner) along with a bevy of familiar Aussie faces (including Bill Hunter) in eight more action packed adventures in Warratah National park. THE MARINE BIOLOGIST Mark is unhappy when his father, Matt Hammond, tells him to accompany a marine biologist who wants to collect underwater specimens. But his misery turns to delight when he discovers that the marine biologist is a spunky young woman (KATHY TROUTT). The two of them quickly find themselves having to rescue Skippy and an unconscious Sonny from an out-of-control speedboat. THE SWAGMAN After fascinating Sonny with tales of adventure, an old swagman, Mr. Trundle (GERRY DUGGAN) leaves him with an expensive parting present, a magnificent antique watch. Park Ranger Matt Hammond discovers the gift, asks the police to trace the owner... and discovers the Swagman's secret. SUMMER STORM Ranger Headquarters is cut off by a violent storm and Park Ranger Matt Hammond lies overcome with fever, poisoned by a snake bite. It's up to Skippy to leap an impassable gorge and return with the serum needed to save Matt's life. SURF KING While Park Ranger Matt Hammond and Clancy are busy fighting a bush fire, Jerry King makes a gallant attempt to win a Bondi Surf Championship - despite having just sustained serious injuries while rescuing a surfer girl in distress. MAYDAY (Part One) Flight Ranger Jerry King breaks Waratah Park regulations when a helicopter flight is the only way he can keep a date with his girlfriend, Babs. A dramatic crash results - and Skippy again comes to the rescue. WHERE THERE'S SMOKE (MAYDAY Part Two) Two Crash Detectives (BILL HUNTER and RAY LAMONT) investigate Jerry's helicopter accident and are unable to substantiate his story of going off course to check on a bushfire. Skippy and Sonny head off to find the evidence needed to clear Jerry of the charges. THE EMPTY CHAIR When Waratah National Park is being threatened by a giant Corporation drilling for oil, Skippy and Sonny set off to find the only person who can save the park... Mr. Trundle. THE LONG NIGHT A couple of industrial spies, on the trail of a roll of secret microfilm, masquerade as Detectives and try to cover their tracks by accusing Mark of a hit-and-run accident. Only Skippy is aware of their true identities.
