Martha Jones
A woman who provides Molly, Gracie, and Daisy with food and warm clothes when they stop at her farmhouse during their trek through the bush. She instructs them how to get to the rabbit-proof fence once they tell her that following the fence home is their goal. Although she assures the girls that she will not report them to the authorities, she calls her local Superintendent as soon as they leave the house because she is worried that the girls will get lost and die out in the wilderness, and feels it is her “duty” to report them so that they can be rescued.
