N2  - Nancy has driven cattle a thousand miles into Queensland and laughed at the disapproval of colonial memsahibs. But even 'Nancy of the Overflow' cannot stop the Japanese Army surging towards Australia. As bombs fall on Singapore, she vows that her sister-in-law and baby nephew will survive. From the desperate prison camps of Malaya and Thailand to secret flights in tiny planes into Japanese-held New Guinea jungle, this is the story of Australia, from 1941 to 1946, when loving your country meant you had to fight for it - and for survival
