Ate lunch outside for the first time since Bonaire today.  It feels like spring with the sunshine, warmer temperatures and buds in the trees.  Rather pleasant really.

I also watched a very good movie today called the Rabbit Proof Fence.  Rather than try to relate the entire plot, here is a link for more information:

http://imdb.com/title/tt0252444/

I first heard of the Stolen Generation from a South African working in Sydney as we were driving past the Aboriginal protests outside the nation's capital in Canberra.  A Bill Bryson book introduced me to the brilliant farmer who released a dozen or so rabbits on his farm to hunt and the disasterous nationwide consequences.

Anyway, if you are interested in that bit of history or just a very moving drama, I recommend the film.  I enjoyed the "making of" documentary as well, which was more about getting three young girls who had never acted to be the main characters in the movie.
