'Alan Williams is an orphan and has to live with his grandparents. He's horrified! They don't live in Balmain... they don't even live in Sydney... they live in Tasmania, on a farm, at the end of the world!
'All Alan can think of is how to escape from this dull, damp and depressing island, but his BMX won't get him across the Bass Strait. Then his grandfather tells him about the tigers... the tigers everyone else thinks are extinct.'
