Ch: 4 - 6 - Tom

__**Chapter 4 Pages 34-44**__
The group wake up around 10 or 11 o'clock and laze about for the day, at 6 o'clock Homer found a snake in his sleeping bag. He leapt out of it and ran about 20 metres away. There was a debate on what to do with the snake, Kein suggested that they try to drown it in the creek, they decide on having two people on the opposite end to the snake and they would tip it upside down so the snake would fall out and slither away in the opposite direction. Kevin and Robyn drop the sleeping bag and the angry snake comes rushing out, the group all went in seperate directions, Fi in the creek, Robyn, Kevin and Ellie just standing in the one spot, Lee up a tree and Homer nowhere to be seen. After they think the trouble is gone Ellie asks Fi why she was in the creek, Fi said it was to get away from the snake, she didnt know snakes could swim. Homer and Kevin cooked up a sausage surprise for dinner. During the night Ellie goes to the toilet and hears a distant humming, but suddenly it became a loud roar, Ellie sees a V- shape of Jets, in total there were six lines of jets that flew very low overhead. At breakfast they all discuss how many planes they heard, Lee and Robyn said hundreds and Ellie said six lots. Homer asks Ellie what he thinks of Fi, she is surprised that he asked her that because the oly women Homer likes are the ones in magazines.

__**Chapter 5 Pages 45-54**__ The group do a lot of lazing around, only Corrie and Ellie go out for walks, on one of the walks they talk about, boys, school and life. They decide that when they leave school, they are going to work for 6 months and then go overseas. There wasnt a lot of supplies left and no one could be bothered walking back to the Land Rover, so they were eating meals that they wouldnt even feed to their chooks. There was only one argument for the whole trip, it was Kevin yelling at Fi for not helping out with the washing up, Kevin was only angry because it was the day of the snake shemozzle and his Sausage surprise didnt get such a good response as he would of liked. Ellie was in a bit of a rush to get home, she felt a kind of strange anxiety. They hit the track at about 11 o'clock the next morning, it was a big trek back but there motivation was the thought of a shower and food. They eventually made it to the Land Rover, right in the place were they left it. As soon as they reached they pigged out on all the food and drank all of the water. It seemed as everyone got to the Landie the sense of urgency to get back was lost by everyone. After a couple of hours they decided to get going, as they got a better view of the plains they saw six seperate fires. They stopped at the river for a swim for an hour or so, Ellie chats to Lee about how she feels bad for missing the Show. Homer was acting like he was listening to Kein talk about something, but Ellie could tell he was watching Fi, she looked like a model doing a fashion shoot.

__**Chapter 6 Pages 55-68**__ Ellie reaches home and finds 4 out of 5 dogs are dead, her parents are'nt home, there wasnt any power to the house and no one has an explanation for it. They scan the radio to see if there are any stations on but find none. The group decide to go to Homer's house. At Homer's house the group was met with the same thing, no one home and no explanation for it. Homer's cow and budgie were alive but a bit shaken up, the group try to find someone on Homers, Rural Firefighting radio, but have no luck with that. They all agree to go to each others houses, to see what is happening. they figure out that mostly everyone went to the show and hadn't returned. Eventually they link the low flying aircraft, without lights, from the night in Hell, with the disappearances of Homer and Ellie's families. They think the worst and all have little cry, Robyn says "lets say we have been invaded, I think there is a big war."

Ch: 7 - 8 - Prakash The ride back to Corrie's was difficult and Ellie is in a bit of shock over the events of the night. Inside Corrie's they get some cereal to eat and Ellie tells her story to Fi and Homer. She is amazed that she has killed three people. Her friends are very supportive and Homer says they are at war and "normal rules don't apply". Homer tells what he and Fi saw on their trip; spent shell, dried blood and smashed shops. They were held up for a while by soldiers and Homer put graffiti on the toilet walls to fill up time. The soldiers come into the lavatory and speak in a language that Homer and Fi did not comprehend. The soldiers are a bunch of young and old, men and women. Homer and Fi see some other people but the others run away when Fi calls to them. They reach Fi's house and find her cat but no people. ON the way back they see some very badly damaged houses before they hear shots coming from the Showground. They prepare to sleep and choose the shearing shed so that if the enemy come they can escape. Also, Ellie is now thinking that Homer is now a completely different person.
 * __Chapter seven:__** They wait until dark for safety and then move off to Kevin's place and things were the same with dead animals except for the pet corgi, no people and nothing except some bikes, which they take. They head to Corrie's and take the corgi with Kevin's understanding that it may have to go. Corrie's house is the same and she breaks down but Kevin holds her tight to calm her.
