In northern Australia at the beginning of World War II, an English aristocrat inherits a cattle station the size of Maryland. When English cattle barons plot to take her land, she reluctantly joins forces with a rough-hewn stock-man to drive 2,000 head of cattle across hundreds of miles of the country's most unforgiving land, only to still face the bombing of Darwin, Australia, by the Japanese forces that had attacked Pearl Harbor only months earlier.
How this will help me with my Radio Play? :
-Genre: War, Romance, Revenge and Trust
-Characterisation: Drover relates to Billy as he adventurous and dismissive. He also has different ambitions however he knows that because of jobs he cannot reach them. He also is unique to the other people like him and is looked down on which is similar to Billy being looked down on by his Father.
-Sarah relates to Helena because she is innocent and is seen as a delicate woman however once she sees adventure she takes it like when she goes with Drover. She also has a forbidden love affair with the drover which she knows will make people look down on her however she chooses to ignore it just like Helena does with her relationship with Billy.
-Fletcher relates to Emmett as he achieves to get what he wants by loosing his temper easily and using violence to get his own way. He is a sly character who is only concerned about himself. He too has a son which he wishes was not his which is similar to Emmett not wanting Billy as a son.
- Content: Australia relates to Diaries of a Prisoner because it deals with the issue of a forbidden love affair, breaking boundaries and people staying together through war. The war between the 'Blacks' and the 'Whites' is also similar to the Germans and the Jews.
