They Crossed a Continent is a powerful true story written by Margaret Somerville, chronicling a remarkable wartime journey across Australia in 1942. What s the story about? Margaret Somerville was one of three women who helped evacuate 95 part-Aboriginal children from Croker Island, off the coast of the Northern Territory, to safety in Sydney. The journey spanned 5,000 kilometers over 44 days, using foot, boat, truck, and train to cross the continent. The evacuation was prompted by the threat of Japanese attacks during World War II, especially after Darwin was bombed. The book captures themes of courage, compassion, and resilience, highlighting the dedication of the caregivers and the strength of the children. It s considered one of the great Australian stories of love and compassion, praised by figures like former Governor-General Quentin Bryce. Book (2) The journey was later adapted into a documentary titled Croker Island Exodus, which aired on ABC and was a finalist at the Sydney Film Festival. About the book: Originally published in 1970, with a new edition released in 2011, featuring vivid photographs and essays by historians Peter and Sheila Forrest.
