Rusty’s Dad is in the Australian army, which means  he’s often working away from home, but he loves staying in touch with Rusty, Dusty and Digger from his army base by writing letters full of stories and caring words. 
 
When Rusty’s Dad returns home (and not without a treasured can of condensed milk for Rusty) he loves hanging out with his family – including days out on the beach playing his favourite sport… cricket!
