Description
Flone Robinson, called Becca in the English adaptation, is the middle child and only daughter of the Robinson family. Youthful freckles adorn her face, and she habitually wears a flower in her hair. The series narrative unfolds primarily through her perspective, with her voice serving as the central storytelling device.
Her personality balances tomboyish energy with traditionally feminine dreams; she eagerly climbs trees yet indulges fantasies of being a princess. This blend manifests in frequent disobedience of parental rules, typically driven by good intentions rather than malice. She exhibits deep compassion for animals, extending kindness even to creatures that initially frighten her.
Belonging to an educated Swiss family relocating to 1880s Australia, her father Dr. Ernest Robinson accepts a medical position prompting the voyage. Initial excitement over Australian kangaroos dims when she learns their maid cannot accompany them due to family obligations. Her older brother Franz (renamed Fritz in English), unplanned for the journey, unexpectedly joins at departure.
Flone maintains a protective relationship with youngest brother Jack, often shielding him from perceived dangers. Her interactions with Franz involve playful sibling teasing underpinned by mutual care. During the ocean journey, she intervenes in a marital dispute between fellow passenger Emily's parents by deliberately confining them together to force resolution.
After a shipwreck strands the family on an uninhabited volcanic island near 155° East Longitude and 10° South Latitude, Flone actively scouts for food, hunts, cultivates crops, and gathers resources. Her growing perceptiveness proves vital when she identifies thermal activity in cave water and observes abnormal animal behavior preceding seismic events.
Her discovery of an Australian Aboriginal boy, Tam-Tam (renamed Tom-Tom in English), stealing melons sparks significant development. Initial distrust, rooted in Tam-Tam's negative experiences with Europeans, gradually transforms into friendship through Flone's persistent demonstrations of goodwill, challenging her preconceptions about cultural differences.
Facing volcanic eruption and evacuation, Flone passionately opposes abandoning their domesticated animals. She devises practical transport solutions despite limited boat capacity, creating tension with pragmatic castaway Mr. Morton though her arguments influence the final compromise. Her resourcefulness surfaces again during the arduous sea voyage to Australia; recalling her mother's advice about sugar's nutritional value prevents starvation.
Successfully reaching Australia and settling near Melbourne, Flone participates in the emotional departure of Tam-Tam, Mr. Morton, and friend Emily, who leaves for medical training in England. This transition concludes her documented journey. Her eleventh birthday on the island marks her maturation from shipwreck survivor to active contributor in the family's adaptation and relocation.
