De kinderen van Kapitein Grant, tweede deel (van 3) Australië

The story opens with a heartfelt reunion aboard the Duncan, where Lady Helena, Mary, and their brave companions cling to the hope of finding Captain Grant. Their emotions swing between despair and renewed optimism as Lord Glenarvan’s encouraging words lift spirits and set the crew on a new course. The young Mary, still haunted by the loss, finds courage in the steadfast loyalty of Robert and the steadfast support of John Mangles, while the ever‑curious Major Paganel and the eccentric Major Mac Nabbs add a lively mix of scientific intrigue and comic relief.

Leaving the familiar seas behind, the expedition sails toward the wild coasts of Australia, where untamed weather and uncharted landscapes promise fresh challenges. Along the way the travelers encounter fierce tropical storms, rugged islands, and the promise of hidden gold in the Alexander Mountains. As they chart their path through deserts, alpine ranges, and bustling colonial towns, the group’s blend of bravery, curiosity, and camaraderie drives the adventure forward, hinting at the mysteries that still lie ahead.
