Onslo

Description

Deep in the Australian outback, in a town called Birdsville, Onslo the blue Volkswagen Beetle dreams of adventures in the beautiful Simpson Desert. But, unlike the big four-wheel-drives who pass through Birdsville, he is too small to conquer the big sand dunes. However, with the encouragement of his best friend Geoffrey, the brave beetle embarks on his very own desert adventure.

Onslo’s home, Birdsville, is one of Australia’s most remote and iconic outback towns. Nestled on the edge of the Simpson Desert in southwest Queensland, it attracts thousands of visitors each year, many of whom drive through the Simpson Desert, just like the four-wheel-drives in the book. The Simpson Desert is the world’s largest area of parallel sand dunes and is home to camels, dingoes, goannas, emus, eagles and hawks.
