Laden with trig poles, theodolites and porridge, Beadell and his team built roads, laid out town sites and undertook an enormous survey programme in order to prepare a test launching area in one of the most isolated places in the world. Their problems ranged from trying to take an astrofix in a cloudy sky, being surrounded buy a sea of red mud to patching a bald spot on a joey. All were solved by using the two most necessary ingredients of bush life - an imagination and ingenuity.

Fifteen year old New Yorker Daisy thinks she knows all about love. Her mother died giving birth to her and now her Dad has sent her away for the summer, to live in the English countryside with an aunt and cousins she's never met - three boys near her age and their little sister. Not long after Daisy's arrival, her aunt goes to London on business and the next day, London is attacked, bombed and occupied by an unnamed enemy. As power and other systems fail, the farm becomes more isolated - a place where there are no adults and no rules and the ideal setting for Daisy's unusual bond with her cousins to grow into something very extraordinary. But war covers the land and they must lead each other in a world that is a very frightening place.
