INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
nabbed by police, officials said Monday.A 14-year-old boy, two 13-year-old boys and a 10-year-old girl began their epic journey on Saturday
when they took cash and packed fishing rods in a vehicle belonging to one of their families in the coastal Queensland town of Rockhampton,
police said.One of the children left a note for his family telling them of his plans.Queensland police said the car was spotted early on
Sunday morning in the outback town of Banana, where the kids allegedly stole petrol, before travelling south.The car was found on Sunday
night near Grafton, in the neighbouring state of New South Wales, about 11 hours' drive from Rockhampton.New South Wales police said
officers had to force their way into the vehicle after the children refused to get out."They have locked themselves in the car and police
have had to use a baton to get in to arrest them," Coffs-Clarence district acting inspector Darren Williams told reporters.It was not clear
which of the children had been behind the wheel, but Williams said it was likely they had shared the driving."It is a long way, in excess of
1,000 (km) from Rockhampton down to Grafton," he said."I couldn't imagine one person driving that way in two days."Police are investigating
several alleged offences committed during the road trip, Williams said.The children, who were found unharmed, have been taken into
care.Williams said it was unclear what prompted the children to take the trip, but one of the boys was originally from Grafton.(Except for
