Almost perfect... but not quite

At 15, I'm probably too old to fully enjoy the book, but it was pretty neat. This brother and sister are on a train in Australia when the come across a pair of bird smugglers who, realizing that someone knows about them, throw themfrom the train into the middle of the desert. Now they have to reach one of those radio stations scattered all about the desert to send for the police before the thieves get away. Suspense!
