About this product

Product Information

This is an extraordinary story of courage and faith. It is based on the actual experiences of three girls who fled from the repressive life of Moore River Native Settlement, following along the rabbit-proof fence back to their homelands. Assimilationist policy deemed these girls were taken from their kin and their land in order to be made white. Never having seen the ocean before, the three girls' experience of transportation by boat to the settlement was tormenting. But their torment was just beginning. Settlement life was unbearable with its chains and padlocks, barred windows, hard cold beds and horrible food. Solitary confinement was doled out as regular punishment. They were not even allowed to speak their language. Of all the journeys made since white people set foot on Australian soil, the 1931 journey made by these girls born of Aboriginal mothers and white fathers speaks something to us all.

  • A remarkable tale

    It is a compelling read about how some aboriginal girls escaped from a settlement, to which they had been taken against their and their parents' wishes. They managed to return by - mostly walking - traveling over 1000 miles and hiding from the Australian deputies who were searching for them. It reveals some compassion on the part of the searchers, who were concerned both with the girls as fugitives and the girls as in potential danger. But all in all, as searing a tale of white society tearing indigenous children away from parents as is the tale of this occurring in the US. With the same predictable results of disruption of a way of life and soul searing consequences to the children.

    Thought I was ordering the CD, but enjoyed the book anyway. Had seen the movie years ago and the book was just as good.
