When simple is best (and cheapest and easiest)

What happens when you take two Torres Strait Islander children, with a seafaring ancestry, two and a half thousand kilometres from their island home and deposit them at Dreamworld for three days?
Do you imagine them running from delightfully terrifying roller coaster to stomach turning and thrilling upside down wave twister?  Perhaps spending hours on the water slides of White Water World?  Or exploring the wildlife park, full of animals they have never seen like kangaroos (they could pat), sleepy koalas and white tigers rolling on the grass with their keepers?
Meet Kenny of Kenny’s Cruiser Hire.


This was their favourite activity.




I could have saved the exorbitant entry fee to Dreamworld and the endless two dollar coins Kenny charged for each cruise.  And their father could have let them drive his six metre Hooker with a 90 horse power outboard!
