Did aboriginals help Thomas Mitchell and his explorers?

The indigenous people of Australia did not assist Thomas Mitchell and his men. The Aborigines learnt from experience that Mitchell and his men were to be feared, and that they should stay away from them. On a number of occasions, Mitchell's men killed Aborigines, and at one stage even actively conducted an ambush, and subsequent massacre, of them.


What sort of contact did the convicts have with the aborigines?

Most convicts had no contact with the Aborigines. The Aborigines stayed away from white settlement wherever possible, and convicts were kept too busy working. They may sometimes have had contact if they escaped, but often the Aborigines stayed away even from escapees. There was one notable convict who had a great deal of contact with the aboriginal people. William Buckley arrived in Australia as a convict, and was a member of the first party of Europeans to attempt the first settlement at Sorrento, on the Mornington Peninsula, Victoria. On 27 December 1803, soon after his arrival, he escaped from custody. Despite the friendliness of the local indigenous Wathaurong people, Buckley was worried they might turn hostile, and at first tried to survive on his own. However, he soon realised he was unable to fend for himself in the harsh bushland, and he sought out the Wathaurong again. On his way, he came upon a spear stuck in the grave of a recently deceased member of the tribe; the Aborigines, finding him with the spear, believed he was their tribal member returned from the dead, and greeted his appearance with feasting and a corroboree. Buckley spent the next 32 years living among the indigenous Wathaurong people, bridging the cultural gap between Europeans and Aborigines, and gaining many valuable bush skills.


Why did the mixed race children have to go away in The Rabbit Proof Fence?

During this era in Australia's history, Aborigines were seen as an inferior race. Not only did the Europeans of the day hope to remove all traces of aboriginal culture, but the mixed race children were regarded as a danger to the "purity" of the white people. They did not belong in either white society or black society, so they had to be sent away so that they could not grow up to reproduce with either race. It was a shocking time in Australia's history.
