In 1939 Aborigines on Cummeragunja Mission walked away from their homes in the hope of finding a new life. Others stayed behind, refusing to be driven away from their country by repressive laws and a cruel manager. Many of those who left drifted towards Mooroopna where they established a settlement on the banks of the Goulburn River. Fay Carter and Wayne Atkinson spent their childhood in the place which became known as The Flat.
