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 treks of recognised explorers –
reveals a past more cruel than we could ever imagine.
