Synopsis: 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.
