St Francis Boys
Home/Glanville Hall
Park Ave, Semaphore South
From 1946 to 1959 the Church of England
ran a boys hostel, ‘Saint Francis Boys Home’
at Glanville House. St Francis provided boys
from the outback with education and a
better understanding of white culture and the
world of work. Many of the boys who were
educated at St Francis became prominent
citizens and leaders in politics, activism, sport
and the arts.

“I grew up with and bonded with the
Narrunga people, they were still living with
the old law and created a framework from
the Aboriginal social system to translate it
into the new one to incorporate everyone,
including dispossessed Kaurna people. You
could see it happening, it was deliberately
done to incorporate everyone from different
places with different law into that place that
we could all live together. I’ve seen something
truly special.”

Midden Sculpture
Cnr Semaphore Rd/Esplanade, Semaphore
A midden is a mound or deposit containing
shells, animal bones, and other refuse that
indicates the site of a human settlement.
This interpretation highlights the longevity
of Aboriginal habitation compared to recent
European settlement and the contrasts over
the years of refuse.

“Young people married old people, that was
part of the exchange. In between that you
could be with whoever you wanted as long as
you didn’t do it in their face. Same for women
and men. You could have all your fun as long
as you honoured the big law.”

Kura Yerlo
Lady Gowrie Dr, Largs Bay
A beautiful memory visiting Kura Yerlo and
seeing the women Elders sewing a possum
cloak, the men doing their woodcarving and
the children mixing with them all.

“My mum Winnie Branson, was a single
mum with six kids. She was the first State
Secretary of the Federal Council for the
Advancement of Aborigines and Torres
Strait Islanders. I remember her taking me to
Canberra for the very first FCAATSI meeting.
It was my first introduction to Aboriginal rights
and I’ve been on that pathway ever since.”

White Hollow
Lady Gowrie Dr, Taperoo
“White Hollow is the last of what was the natural
world. We should venerate every ‘open space last
place’, be respectful of Aboriginal people’s spiritual
relationship - everyone’s spiritual relationship - with
the last natural things along the coast.”

“We kept our waste separate. Middens were
used so you didn’t mess up your country, you
keep your kitchen clean. You ate your food and
threw the scraps into the midden site, but you
lived away from it.”
Lewis O’Brien
