Current Goal

Upfield the Sheep wants to visit Australia, particularly Banyo (a suburb of Brisbane) which was where the fictional DI Bonaparte had his home. Once Upfield has been to Banyo, he'd like to "go bush" and see the Outback at some point in his travels.

About This Item

Upfield the Sheep

     If you have read the books featuring half-Aboriginal Detective-Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte, you may know that their author, Arthur Upfield, was not Australia's native son. Born in England, he travelled to that mysterious Land Down Under and remained there for most of his adult life. Many of "Bony's" experiences are based on Upfield's own during the time he worked on sheep stations, as a cattle drover, or as he ranged through the Outback with his Aboriginal friends.
     Given that brief biography, now we come to Upfield the Sheep who, like his namesake, was born far from Oz but has a strong desire to spend his life there. That's where "ewe" come in. Upfield needs to be shepherded first towards Banyo, the Brisbane suburb where DI Bonaparte had his home. Then he would like to travel throughout Australia, and would love to visit 'the bush' and have his picture taken there.

For a sheep that wants to travel in Australia, he is certainly a long way home. I will move him on even though it might be the wrong direction.
