Argument

In this story, three Indigenous Australian girls escape from a government settlement and undertake a long journey home. The girls, who are part of the Stolen Generations, are being forcibly removed from their families and sent to the settlement to be trained as domestic servants. The journey is made more difficult by the presence of a fence designed to keep rabbits out of farmland, which the girls use to guide them home. The book sheds light on the impact of government policies on Indigenous Australians and their families. It was adapted into a film in 2002.
