Summary
Join Australian soldiers, Stan and Billy, in their stubborn resistance against an overwhelming World War II Japanese force in Papua New Guinea as the Australians fight a tactical withdrawal along the Kokoda Track. The strategies and tactics used in this withdrawal created one of the most famous actions in the annals of Australian military history and was to have a major impact on the collective psyche of all Australians. Follow the magnitude of this impact as it played out on the streets of Brisbane. Link arms with Carol and Jean, two sisters who experience love and tragedy while struggling to fulfil their duties as waitresses in the Victory Café. Experience the full effect that tens of thousands of allied troops had on their home city of Brisbane. Put yourself in the middle of the Battle of Brisbane - a brief battle that broke out between Australian and American servicemen, which highlighted the tension that existed between these two allied forces. At war's end, you will realise how it was that this generation was able to face their future with such confidence and certainty as they built the foundations of the modern Australia that we all enjoy today.
