She was young, still a kid, raised in the country, and going to school in one of the most racist towns in Australia. She had only turned up to go to the pool and go swimming with some friends. She wasn't there for the Freedom Ride or the protest, so it all caught her by surprise. It was stumbling in to the protest, and seeing all of the folk that had turned out for it, pushing back against racism that made her realise that racism doesn't have to be "just the way it is".
Unfortunately, Moree is still a racist, bigoted place, with deeply entrenched inequality. The segregation is still there, it's just social now, instead of legal.
