They Crossed a Continent HBIn April and May 1942, Margaret Somerville was one of three women who helped take 95 part Aboriginal children from their improvised home on war threatened Croker Island 5,000km across Australia to safety in the south. Then, in 1946, Margaret helped bring the children back to their beloved island where the cottage homes continued until December 1968. In 1970 Margaret's story of the exodus and return was published as "They Crossed a Continent".
