RABBIT-PROOF FENCE

The book tells the story of how 3 Australian half-caste girls were taken to a settlement school that they were forced to attend in Australia, away from their families and homes to learn how to be raised to work at home.
The girls were Molly and her younger sister, Daisy Burungu, eight, and her cousin Gracie Fields, eleven, escaped from there and walked home, first walking east to the rabbit-proof fence from north to south in Western Australia and then to the north. 'following the rabbit test fence home'. All the way
they survived by eating what the people of the farms give them and sleeping in holes made by rabbits.
Gracie left the other two girls on the way home to look for her mother. It was recaptured and returned to Moore River. The three met 30 years later. Molly and Daisy returned to Jigalong where their family were very happy to have their daughters at home.
