RABBIT PROOF FENCE

For you movie buffs who saw Rabbit Proof Fence the following photos show you the genuine article. The old cottage film set, made mainly of polystyrene, is set up in the Mt. Magnet museum, which we saw on Monday. It showed the processes of making polystyrene look like old timber, and old corrugated iron.

Here the genuine Fence crosses the road between Mt. Magnet and Sandstone. The girls would have walked along here on their way from Moore River Institution back to their country at Jigalong, way out east of Newman.

However, there was a hole where certain animals could get through so John, forever the farmer, arranged some temporary repairs.

The country along the fence was brilliant with wildflowers this morning. It was a great highlight for our first time heading EAST for several months.
