RESCHEDULED TUESDAY 26 JULY (notice date: 16 June 2022).

Join Judith Dunn for a tour of the historic Parramatta Girls Home at the Parramatta Female Factory Precinct.

This institution was the principal child welfare facility for girls in NSW from 1887 to 1974. Someone who was sent to Parramatta Girls Home as a child will give a talk on her experiences in the home before we inspect two of the buildings and the newly opened Children’s Memorial Garden. The home was originally erected as the Roman Catholic Orphan School.

Parking on site at 1 Fleet Street North Parramatta. Tea/coffee/biscuits will be served.
