Mr Elephant says he remembers listening to the radio serial as a kid (many. many years ago) He says there was an Aboriginal character in it - a boy called Tacomi (not sure of the spelling. There was also a sgirl whose name he ca'nt remember, a guy who was in charge of the expedition and spaceship that had an anti gravity drive, but they weren't allowed to use it for landing because it was top secret.
He thinks it may have been on 2UW and he also believes there may have been apicture strip comic book.
Maybe if you searched under comics rather than books you might find it.
Edited: Now looking on line. It is available from the National Library or:
