Fourteen - year - old Molly and her cousins Daisy and Gracie were mixed - race Aborigines . In 1931 they were taken away from their families and sent to a camp to be trained as good ' white ' Australians . They were told to forget their mothers , their language , their home . But Molly would not forget . She and her cousins escaped and walked back to Jigalong , 1600 kilometres away , following the rabbit - proof fence north across Western Australia to their desert home . Rabbit - Proof Fence is the true story of that walk , told by Molly's daughter , Doris . It is also a prize - winning film . (Word Count 10,600 )
