Description

Layer Warning:

This layer contains historical information about Aboriginal people that may be distressing.

"Aboriginal people camped on the river near the settlement in order to be near their relatives and to feed the starving children through the fence because the food at the settlement was so bad. My mother, she went up there and run away with them. She gotĀ  on a train and went to the Mogumber Siding and jumped out and snuck into the Moore River Settlement at night and went into the camps along the river side, along the Moore River. And of courseĀ  she asked an old lady there about her girls because she was oneĀ  of the old ladies that got knocked off from Guildford too ... AndĀ  she told them what dormitories they were in. And of course sheĀ  waited ā€˜til nightfall and she snuck in and got them out and took offĀ  and headed for the coast from the Moore River Settlement alongĀ  the river.
