'At the end of their gap years, Keat Walker and his mates repeat their camping trip to Broken Hill. Repeating their schoolies trip seemed like the perfect chance to have a yarn about their adventures over the last year. Then the apocalypse happened.
'Mana infuses the world overnight, and a country already containing the world's ten most poisonous snakes, crocodiles, and sharks, is overrun with monsters. Dungeons spring up, boss mobs roam the landscape, and there isn't a wiki to be found.
'Facing the Australian outback, Keat has his best mate Nugget, Nugget's sister Mel (who he definitely did not have a thing with), Mel's new boyfriend from Melbourne, and a British backpacker.
'Armed with only a BBQ fork he made in woodshop, his new class of jackaroo, and the potential to tame the monsters now roaming the outback, Keat must find a way towards Broken Hill.'

'Morgan always said a lot of things.
'Nugget doesn’t trust her. Mel wants to kick her butt. Trev has a bad feeling in his gut...but he might just need more fibre.
'Ride out again, with the Gap Year Six, on an epic journey from Broken Hill to tropical Cairns, where the largest living organism in the world, the Great Barrier Reef, lies.
'Who do you trust in the Aussie Mana Apocalypse? The Dungeons? The aliens Queenslanders?'
