  beachcomber australia Very interesting, thanks for sharing those links. A small excerpt from the NSW page "...established to counter the growing problem of destitute and neglected children in the nineteenth century...due primarily to the combined influence of the pattern of ragged school movements in England and Scotland in the first half of the nineteenth century, as well as the social and economic dislocation caused by the gold rushes of the 1850's. ... Ragged schools first emerged in Sydney in 1860 and the movement lasted until 1924... limited to the inner city areas of Sydney. ..." AB
