  • Description

    The Forgotten Children was written by David Hill, who came as a 12-year-old to Fairbridge Farm School near Molong in New South Wales. This book is based on personal memories from more than 100 people, diaries, photographs, autobiographies and government and Fairbridge Society records.

    The book provides an account of life in the Fairbridge Scheme, with information about daily life at the Fairbridge Farm School at Molong and some memories of homes in other states, including Clarendon Church of England Home (Tasmania); Northcote Home in Victoria; Fairbridge Farm School Pinjarra and the Christian Brothers' home Bindoon (Western Australia)
