Deep in the wilderness there’s much more to discover than ever anticipated.

When there are strange bird sightings in Southern Tasmania, it’s no coincidence that Luke, Clare, and Zac learn from Uncle Tom that their mysterious beloved farm pet, Zoe, has gone missing. Eager to rescue the missing bird, the kids have a struggle on their hands to convince their mother to allow them to follow their hearts and travel to Tasmania to begin their quest.

The Adamson siblings finally embark on a new marvellous and thrilling adventure to rescue the unusual bird. Self-confessed wildlife warrior, Clare, is desperate to find Zoe before any harm can come to her. Devested that she is missing, Luke will rush ahead as usual, forgetting to consider any consequences while Zac, is determined to keep his promise to their mother that this time he will keep them both safe from harm at all costs. Along their journey, the kids encounter many fascinating animals and birds, native to the Australian bush. However, when Dad is injured and unable to continue, their undertaking suddenly takes on a far more frantic resolve.

The Adamson family are not the only ones both eager and curious to join in the hunt. Not only is a university team out to capture this strangely unique creature, but who is the cave dwelling hermit and why is there a team of angry men chasing them all through the bush? All will be revealed in Zac, Clare, and Luke’s final adventure.
