Quote

Jedda and her friends began to flee the paddock, spindly legs galloping south, away from all of them before taking flight [..] she felt as if she were back home, back on the land she belonged to. At the same time, she thought that this was the saddest place on earth.

Although over the years I knew of and had witnessed the increase of the Native labour system occurring in the plains, and visitors were less frequent. As such - fewer young men lived at the Mission as they had been captured and compelled, I dare say with force, to touch the pen to assignment papers impossible for them to understand. Furthermore, they then become the Bond Service Propertyof a fellow on a Station. And when they subsequently ran away [...] a warrant was issued for their arrest, the Police were set in motion, then they are run down or ferreted out, sometimes here at the Mission, taken to the Police Depot and chained for weeks beefore being returned to these monstrous Station men who wave in victory paper copies of the Masters and Servants Act.
