Bobby asks the Black As boys to get his tractor from a distant outstation. He has a wheel off it, so they'll need to get that there as well. After a hostile reaction from Oppy they lend a tiny dinghy to tow the wheel by sea.
The boys manage to get the wheel to the barge ramp and construct a raft out of junk to float the wheel behind the inflatable dinghy. They take to the ocean with the tiny engine straining under the load.
Out at sea Chico accidently spears the inflatable dinghy and it sinks. The boys pile onto the raft, head for the shore and make camp. With no phone, no water and no food the boys face a real challenge.
Stranded without food or water the boys push the tractor wheel towards the outstation...and tractor. Miraculously they find a spring and eventually reach the outstation.
The boys locate the tractor, but it's trashed. They manage to get the wheel on but the battery is flat. A charging rig is made from an old pushbike which Joe and Dino crank into the night. Jerome and Chico eat turtle eggs.
With a charged battery and some brutal bush mechanics the tractor sparks up and is loaded with handy items and an old broken postie motorbike. The boys pile on and take off only to be halted by a massive brown river.
Out on the massive clay pan the boys are feeling the heat. They decide to make a shade roof out of palm leaves and a sled to tow behind. With their new roof and makeshift sled they head off once again.
Chico and Dino ride behind the tractor but court disaster when it's torn to bits in a gully. Once again crowded onto the tractor, they are stopped by a croc-infested billabong. Joe sparks up the postie to test the depth.
The boys are forced inland then reach the head of the river. They find a spot to cross, but its deep and full of crocs. They nearly tip over but make it through and are nearing home only to be confronted by their nemesis.
Nearly home and the tractor runs out of fuel. After trying to tow it with the postie bike the boys pile onto the bike to look for help. Some women tow them into town but Bobby isn't impressed when they finally arrive home.

The boys borrow a dinghy from Uncle Oppy. They promise to bring back lots of fish. On their way to the water they cut a harpoon and repair an ailing trailer.
While launching the dinghy Joe manages to drown it and it is now irretrievable while the tide is high. They retreat to the shade of the mangroves and wait for the tide to recede.
The boys wait for the tide to go out. Meanwhile they get a feed of crabs and Jerome has a strange dream.

After arriving at the island the boys catch enough fish to fill the esky. They go exploring around the small island. Along the way they find a turtle. It is turned over to prevent it escaping.
On the island exploration Jerome finds an empty grog bottle. He pisses in it then back at camp presents it to the boys. They are pissed off and then settle in for the night around the fire.
In the morning the boys discover they have no water. They go to collect the turtle but it has escaped. Disappointed the boys load up the dinghy and head off back to the mainland.
On their way back home, the engine on the dinghy breaks down. The boys try desperately to start it but have no luck. They are now adrift with no drinking water.
The boys are adrift at sea. They resort to drinking the urine in the bottle and try paddling with whatever they can lay their hands on.

The boys finally limp home and return the dinghy to Oppy who is not only unimpressed but also mad as hell.
