- Condingup Working Boys' Hostel
Condingup Hostel, near Esperance, was established by the Australian Aborigines Evangelical Mission (AAEM) around 1967 to accommodate Aboriginal boys working on nearby farms. Some of these boys had been at Wongutha Mission. From January 1975, the Churches of Christ Federal Aborigines Mission Board (Inc.) (CCFAMB) ran the Condingup Hostel to provide training and support for seven young men (aged 16 to 21 years) from the Norseman Mission. Boys were taken to and picked up from their workplace during this time. Condingup closed in February 1976. It is possible that some young men went to live at the AAEM Hostel in Esperance when Condingup closed.
