Kip Kip, Wendi and the Fabulous History Machine

When Mrs Salamo, the headmistress, calls Wendi and Kip Kip into her office to meet distinguished historian, Professor Tubulukawa, they are naturally suspicious. After their previous adventures, they simply don’t want to enter his odd-looking time machine.

However, when he promises it will help Papua New Guinea, they decide to assist the professor perfect the eccentric contraption. As they step into the rickety machine, they are whisked across time, first dropping in on an aristocratic English family in World War II, then back to Papua New Guinea to witness the same war in the jungles of Bougainville. Kip Kip and Wendi then pick up some very interesting time-travelling passengers.

Finally, they see their country move from colony under foreign rule to an independent state, where they help local people stop the destruction of vast rain forests. This is Wendi and Kip Kip’s second adventure, this time taking them through important events that shaped modern day Papua New Guinea.
