The line comes from Rabbit-Proof Fence, the 2002 Australian film based on Doris Pilkington Garimara's book Follow the Rabbit-Proof Fence. The film follows three Aboriginal girls who escape a settlement and walk home to Jigalong, a remote community in Western Australia, along the rabbit-proof fence. The question and answer capture that journey in a few words, naming the place they belong to. Short clips from the film have since circulated in educational videos and social media edits, where the line is used to evoke home, Country and identity rather than as a joke.
