The Dead of Night by John Marsden
Book 2 in the Tomorrow, When the War Began series. There was a crashing sound from the bushes. I spun round, wondering if this was my death, the last movement I would even make, the last sight I would see . It's tough surviving in Hell. But sometimes Hell can be a haven. Their country has been invaded. Their homes have been occupied by strangers - or destroyed. Their families are facing death at the hands of a merciless enemy. But one group of teenagers - fugitives in a remote valley - will never give in. Not without a fight. But sometimes courage demands too high a price.
