SYDNEY — Four children took a stolen four-wheel drive on a 1,000-kilometer (620-mile) road trip across the Australian outback before being nabbed by police, officials said Monday. Queensland police said the car was spotted early on Sunday morning in the outback town of Banana, where the kids allegedly stole petrol, before traveling south. The car was found on Sunday night near Grafton, in the neighboring state of New South Wales, about 11 hours’ drive from Rockhampton. “I couldn’t imagine one person driving that way in two days.”Police said they are investigating several alleged offenses committed during the road trip, Williams said. ADVERTISEMENTWilliams said it was unclear what prompted the children to take the trip, but one of the boys was originally from Grafton.
