'Smiley has an exciting life in the Australian bush with his friend Joey. But until Smiley Roams the Road, he has never seen the sea. When he does visit it, he finds himself in the thick of some of the most exciting adventures he has ever had. In and out of trouble all the time, he rides turtles in the surf, starts a fire, is chased by sharks. And these are just a few of the things he gets up to before he sets off on his travels with Old Restless, the tramp, and finishes up finally with a travelling fair.' (Inside dust jacket)
