Four children were forced to end what could arguably be Australia’s longest run away from home on July 14.

Queensland Police Service (QPS) intercepted four teenagers who allegedly took one of their father’s four-wheel drive vehicles and made the 931-kilometer (578-mile) journey between the Central Queensland city of Rockhampton and Grafton, south of the New South Wales state border.
