Blue Sparrows

INTRODUCTION Young Billy Sparrow receives a letter from an Australian Lawyer stating he is the sole heir to his late aunts Will. The Will provides free airfares from England to Australia for Billy and one other family member. Billys irascible, booze loving, Uncle Fred is coerced into accompanying him. In Brisbane, Billy discovers that he must reside on the Queensland Gemfields for at least six months to be eligible for a very large amount of money and the Deeds to a Rustic property. They travel to the dusty, rural town of Sapphire with Blue, their newly acquired, Gem-seeking dog, where they embark on a series of frequently hilarious and invariably drunken adventures. During their stay they experience true love, find valuable sapphires, make exceptional friends and suffer exceptional hangovers. The pair are left totally shocked when the time comes for Billy to collect his inheritance.
