This was typical action during the twentieth century in Australia. Aboriginal children were often removed from their families for a number of reasons, some of which are listed below:
- Aborigines were not seen as capable of looking after their own children.
- The prevailing belief was that white Australians could offer Aboriginal children a better education.
- The authorities hoped to remove all races of Aboriginal culture by removing the aboriginal children from where they would continue to hear the stories and participate in the traditions of their tribes.

When did Molly Craig run away?
i have no idea Molly Craig, believed to be born in 1925, lived in Jigalong, Western Australia. She had a small family of 1 sister, Daisy Kadibill, her mother, grandmother and cousin, Gracie Fields. They didn't have much money and had very little medical access. Molly, Daisy and Gracie all feature in the movie "Rabbit Proof Fence", which is based on the journey the three girls made from an internmant camp to Jigalong. In 1931, the Australian government made a policy of removing Aboriginal half-casts from their parent's to train them to act like white people. When Molly was 14, she and her younger sister Daisy and her cousin Gracie were taken from their home in Jigalong and sent to an internment camp on the Moore River, north of Perth. Soon after being left there, they escaped and spent nine weeks walking home, a distance of more than 990 miles. Gracie got tricked and was captured and sent back to the internment camp, Molly and Daisy made it back to Jigalong. Molly grew up and had two children, Doris and Annabelle. Nine years later, Molly and her children were transported back to the Moore River Settlement. Molly managed to escape again but only with 18-month-old Annabelle, leaving 4-year-old Doris behind. In 1943 Annabelle was taken from Molly's care and they never saw each other again. In the 1960's Doris and Molly were reunited and Doris made her mother's escape back home into a book called "Follow the Rabbit-Proof Fence". The book was later made into the film "Rabbit Proof Fence". Doris Pilkington Garimara, Molly's daughter said, "Mum's legacy is the calming influence and quiet dignity of the desert women, and the stolen generation's story. She looked you straight in the eye." Molly died on January 13 2004 at the age of 87
Is the movie rabbit proof fence like the book?
Yes, it is mostly like the book. Although there are minor alterations, overall it's exactly like the book. Just for comparison, the movie's plot follows the start of Australia government's decision to educate the young "half-casts" and one day, the main character (Molly Craig) and her sisters (Gracie Fields and Daisy Kadibill) got captured. They got sent to a "school" for 'Half-casts" but on the third day, Molly decided to escape. So while the rest of the class went to breakfast, she was given the job of emptying out the toilet bowl, and that was when she grabbed her sisters' hands. The Tracker was given the job to track them down but was unsuccessful. In the middle of their journey, Daisy (the second eldest) wanted to go back to the "school". So she got caught. and basically that's it. Molly and Gracie returned, and at the end of the film there's a little cameo of the real molly and gracie and they were laughing.

What is the rabbit proof fence and what did it keep the aborigines from doing?
In 1859, a man named Thomas Austin, a landowner in Winchelsea, Victoria imported 24 wild rabbits from England and released them into the wild for sport hunting. Within a number of years, those 24 rabbits multiplied into millions.Excessive grazing by the rabbit has diminished vegetative cover, allowing wind to erode away top soil. Soil erosion affects re-vegetation and water absorption. The livestock industry in Australia has been widely affected by the rabbit. As food yields decrease, so does the cattle and sheep population. Rabbit proof fencing was tried but failed.But the part about the aborigines is from a movie called the "Rabbit Proof Fence". ~Coursing through an Aboriginal community is a rabbit-proof fence. Built to keep the country's rabbits on one side and its pasture land on the other, it spans the entire length of Australia from north to south. A Mr. Neville is the legal guardian of all Aboriginal people. Convinced that the Aborigines are dying out, he is committed to hastening their disappearance by enforcing a law that forbids children of mixed marriages to marry full-blooded Aborigines. The story is of three young girls who escape from a settlement and set out to make the 1,200-mile trek back home on foot.The events are based on the experiences of Ms. Garimara's mother, Molly (Everlyn Sampi), who is 14 at the time of the movie; her 8-year-old sister Daisy (Tianna Sansbury), and their 10-year-old cousin Gracie (Laura Monaghan). All three are mixed-race children fathered by itinerant white fence workers. The bulk of the movie follows them on a three-month trek through forest, field and desert, during much of which they use the rabbit-proof fence to guide them home.~ Movie review by STEPHEN HOLDEN.
