About Cranbrook Place

Cranbrook Place in West End’s Orleigh Park was once the location of the Aboriginal Girls Home ‘Cranbrook House,’ which served as a depot for Aboriginal girls being sent into domestic work. Each year, we gather here to remember the lives of those who lived in the home and to honour their descendants, many of whom join us annually. Dr. Valerie Coombs, a descendant of former residents, shared poignant memories in a past speech:

“The sadness of my Grandmothers’ story permeated throughout my life, from my aunties and my mother. I wanted to know how and why this happened. We knew she was looking for her daughter Mable and that she had her earnings stolen by the Protector,” she recounted.

“Typically, as Aboriginal People we build resilience even as a Colonised People. This is how we have survived, the Spirit of Aboriginality. This is not to say we haven’t suffered and we continue to do so, our Matriarchs have kept us going,”
