Description
A Stolen Generations story of astounding courage: three Aboriginal girls, taken from their mothers, escape barefoot back to their beloved homeland in East Pilbara.
This is the true account of Nugi Garimara's mother, Molly, made legendary by the film Rabbit-Proof Fence.
In 1931, Molly led her two sisters on an extraordinary 1600-kilometre walk across remote Western Australia. Aged eight, eleven, and fourteen, they escaped the confinement of a government institution for Aboriginal children removed from their families. Barefoot, without provisions or maps, tracked by Native Police and search planes, the girls followed the rabbit-proof fence, knowing it would lead them home.
Their journey—longer than many of the celebrated walks of recognised explorers—reveals a past more cruel than we could ever imagine.
