BATTLE FOR THE NORTH reunites the heroes and heroines of
For Freedom's Cause-Dan, Charlie, Elspeth Liza and Alice, in

frustrating Japanese espionage plots and raids into northern

Australia during World War 2. The action takes place in the

Kimberley wilderness and celebrates the daring and heroism of

mounted North Australian Observer Unit patrols, nicknamed

the 'Nackeroos' or 'Curtin's Cowboys.'

Following on the bombing of Darwin and Broome, Japanese

marine commandos land on the Kimberley coast to establish

a foothold and deny the US and Australian Navies a secure refuelling

and supply base. In the absence of Australia's regular

forces in the Middle East and Singapore, all that stands

between them and success is Dan Bevan's and Charlie Elliott's

part-time observer patrols, which battle a Japanese special

forces unit from Broome to their Kalumburu base and join

the fight to push the enemy back into the sea.

Whilst Dan and Charlie conduct their guerrilla campaign in

the bush, their wives and Lady Elspeth interrupt their war work in Darwin

to hunt down a murderous Spy."
