In the 1930's the Australian Government began an enactment buying against the native peoples. Part of it was removing the children from their parent and placing them in orphanages. The other was building what they called the " Rabbit Proof Fence" across the country.
Three little girls ran away from an orphanage, outsmarted trackers and government police & walked a 1000 miles back to their home. True story.
In the documentary a ranch woman, wearing a similar styled apron to the one I offer here, gave the girls food and warm coats to help them on their journey.
It is in remembrance of kindness, persistence, appreciation and respect, that I offer this style of apron.
