Title: Follow the Rabbit-Proof Fence
Author: Doris Pilkington / Nugi Garimara
Description: Follow the Rabbit Proof Fence is the true account of Doris Pilkinton Garimara’s mother Molly, made legendary by the film “Rabbit Proof Fence”.
In 1931 Molly led her two sisters on an extraordinary 1,600 kilometer walk across remote Western Australia. Aged 8, 11 and 14, 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 our explorer heroes – reveals a past more cruel than we could ever imagine.
“This is a marvelous adventure story and thriller, celebrating courage and the resilience of the human heart” - Phillip Noyce, Director of “Rabbit Proof Fence”
