Six years after writing her award-winning book called, ‘Caprice - A Stockman’s Daughter’, Doris Pilkington wrote another great story called, ‘Follow the Rabbit-Proof Fence.’ This story is a biographical book which tells the tale of the homecoming of her mother from Moore River Native Settlement, guided by hundreds of kilometers of rabbit-proof fence.
Don’t Race Through The Book
Rabbit Proof Fence audio book is recommended for anyone interested in learning about Australian life, and most people that have taken the trouble to buy the Rabbit Proof Fence audio book have found it to be really engrossing and well worth the time and effort spent in reading the book. It is also a book that you should not try and race through as that would be an insult to the author as the story is an engrossing take on three girls in their youth who try to escape being enslaved despite great forces arrayed to counter them.
You can’t avoid feeling sympathetic to the trials and tribulations that these young girls went through, including being able to evade pursuers that included Aborigine trackers that themselves were experts. Being able to successfully cross half of a continent in order to be reunited with their families is a story worth getting to know. This Rabbit Proof Fence audio book is a great testimony to one of the longest walks in Australian history. It also demonstrates how those early European settlers worked against indigenous people of Australia.
Reading the Rabbit Proof Fence audio book shows the raping, murder as well as abandonment of women, while men too were killed and imprisoned as well as being enslaved while being more or less helpless when their lands were left to the mercy of cattle, sheep as well as grains. You can well empathize with the failure of Aboriginal spears when confronted by the power of gunpowder which helped enforce the ’superiority’ of the invaders.
There are loads of adventures, together with a smattering of irony, in The Rabbit Proof Fence audio book. Maybe it isn’t all that surprising how some white settlers’ wives helped these women to escape. To sum up, The Rabbit Proof Fence audio book is a story about Aborigines that is told in the manner of Aborigines. It makes a great, compelling story and can be bought at www.shopireland.ie.
