Matron Collins and Sister Gumley in the grounds of Palm Island Hospital

    Learning from history opens the way to moving forward with respect in health professions, to provide services that will ensure better health outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, many of whom continue to experience adverse and traumatising experiences with health care. The lock hospitals are part of a wider history of medical incarceration, as exemplified by Fantome Island, which also housed a leprosarium for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island people from 1940-73. These histories remain very present in the memories and lives of many families on Palm Island. These and other episodes of medical incarceration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples can be seen as archetypal examples of the role of health care professionals and systems in colonisation, contributing to intergenerational traumas.

    Love the verandahs and the timber house on stumps. Cool Queenslander house.

    The adjacent Fantome Island was gazetted as an Aboriginal reserve in 1925[16]. The following year the Fantome Island Lock Hospital was established and began taking patients suffering from venereal disease[17]. By 1937, Fantome Island had become the health clearing station through which Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people would travel before being admitted to Palm Island. The Island was also used for tuberculosis patients and for convalescents from the mainland[18]. In 1939 the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary took over the running of the Fantome Island hospital[19]. Before it closed in 1973, the hospital also included a leprosarium which served as Queensland’s longest-running Aboriginal-only medical segregation facility[20].

    I can hear her now "Off with his head !!" or was that the Queen of Hearts ?
  • La Belle Province said:
    Wikipedia tells us that "The Queen of spades is considered to be a sign of intelligence. It is representative of judgment that is practical, logical, and intellectual. It represents a woman who is creative and makes her plans ahead of time." My guess is that she's off to a Tchaikovsky opera.

    Cuddly Nutter Yep, Queen of Hearts.
