'When Roy McIvor was a small boy, his people were taken from their mission home in Cape Bedford and exiled to the Woorabinda Aboriginal reserve, more than 1500 kilometres away. Their lives were torn apart as they witnessed the death of more than one third of their people at Woorabinda, and the internment of their beloved German missionary "Muni". The removal of the Guugu Yimithirr people from Cape Bedford during World War Two is a shameful and seldom told chapter in the history of Australia which remains unexplained to this day.'
