Bibbulmun Track Foundation members and guests are invited to our annual Tales from Other Trails evening.

This is a great opportunity to meet other members and become aware of walk trails from around the world that are just a bit off the beaten track for most!

This year, Sarah Hyde and the team who have just finished their Rabbit Proof Fence walk, will be joining us for the evening to take us on their 1400km journey along the Rabbit-Proof Fence.    From Mogumber Mission (formerly known as Moore River Native Settlement), just outside of Perth, to Jigalong in the Pilbara, Western Australia in the footsteps of Molly (14), Gracie (11) and Daisy (8), whose stories were told in Doris Pilkington's book, Follow The Rabbit Proof Fence. 

“For the three runaways, the fence was a symbol of love, home and security” - P109, FOLLOW THE RABBIT PROOF FENCE

Sarah Hyde is an Australian woman of colonial decent. She was born on Kuringgai country in northern Sydney and her family is from the Blue Mountains. She has lived and worked in the Australian outback including Alice Springs and the Pilbara. Sarah has been involved with the Grandmothers Against Removals and met some of Molly's family at a women's meeting in Canberra. She is a member of Desert Discovery and spent 5 weeks in the western deserts learning about Indigenous science and tracking from the women Rangers of Kiwirrkurra, Australia's most remote community. Sarah is learning Pintupi-Luritja and more recently, Mardu. She was a Brownie and Scout and is more comfortable under the stars and canvas than a roof! She helps out at Scout camps in NSW as an adult volunteer. Sarah currently lives in Manly and works as a Speech Pathologist and Associate lecturer at Sydney University.
