23.01.2022 marking National Apology Day > Daisy Kadibil talks about her escape along the rabbit-proof fence, 2009 Daisy Kadibil was a small child when she was taken away ...from her family as part of the Stolen Generations. She and her sisters, Molly and Gracie, used the rabbit-proof fence to find their way back home to Jigalong from Moore River Native Settlement north of Perth, a journey of about 1600 kilometres. Mollys daughter, Doris Pilkington (Nugi Garimara), wrote Follow the Rabbit-Proof Fence (1996) after several years of interviewing her mother and Aunt Daisy. The book was later made into Phillip Noyces award-winning film Rabbit-Proof Fence (2002). See more
