Tell Australia Goodbye? You've Got to Be Kidding!

Thirty-seven-year-old Bill Moore, retiring from his Naval career during the turmoil of the '60s, turns to Australia as a haven for his six children. Will they adapt to being foreigners in a strange land, he wonders. Will his wife, accustomed to American conveniences, be able to cope with a 1930 lifestyle? Join the family on their sea voyage to the land "down under." Camp with them as they trek across the continent to Western Australia. Race with them through uncharted Aboriginal territory. Stay with them on their return to the east coast. Explore the delights of tropical Queensland. Climb on the ferry and chug across Redland Bay as they pursue their quest for an island farm. This family odyssey, for all ages, will delight, amaze and amuse. Move to Australia? You've Got to be Kidding! is an easy read. Heartache and humor dance across pages filled with life's trials and rewards.

Connie Moore, lecturer, teacher, author, wife of a Navy career man, and mother of seven children has done both. She traveled widely living in the north, south, east, and western parts of the United States, and overseas in Guam, Japan, and Australia. "My greatest career and biggest achievement," she says with a happy grin, "was being a mother to my seven children.
