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.©1996 Doris Pilkington-Nugi Garimara.

Critics' reviews

'This is a marvellous adventure story and thriller, celebrating courage and the resilience of the human heart.' (Phillip Noyce, director of the film Rabbit-Proof Fence)

The story is amazing but the perfect intonation of the narrator makes it authentic. An important part of First Nation people history. Thank you Doris, and great job, Rachael!

That book was so awful, and the narrator was annoying. Cannot recommend this to anyone!
