Coles Min Min: A North Queensland Cadet Adventure at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Two boys. One desert. Zero room for failure.
Nine-year-old Donny MacAndrew is a cheeky bush kid, raised on a massive cattle station in the heart of Queensland’s remote Min Min Shire. Schooled through Distance Ed and bush smarts, Donny knows the desert like the back of his dusty hand. So when a gang of criminals, led by his own Uncle James, takes his family hostage, Donny refuses to sit still.
He convinces his fifteen-year-old cousin, Vaughan—a city boy from a fancy Sydney boarding school—to escape with him. But the outback is no classroom, and Vaughan is no bushman.
As their bid for freedom turns into a desperate race for survival, Donny’s grit and local know-how clash with Vaughan’s army cadet skills and city mindset. Facing punishing heat, harsh terrain, and relentless pursuers, the boys must learn to rely on each other... or risk losing everything.
Donny’s mission is clear: rescue his family. And nothing—not the desert, not the criminals, not even fear—will stop him.
A gripping adventure suitable for teenagers
