Shelters at Barambah Aboriginal Settlement ca 1920

from State Library of Queensland

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    "In the 1920s nothing fundamentally changed about the lot or the rights of Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders removed from their homelands, but the sheer scope of the segregation policy meant that rough camps had to be turned into permanent settlements. Work stepped up at Barambah, and by the end of the decade more than 40 family cottages, girls’ and boys’ dormitories, a shop, a proper ration shed, a two-roomed school and a hospital had been built. And the settlement had a new name. After complaints from nearby Barambah Station that their mail was being wrongly directed, authorities renamed the community Cherbourg, not for any romantic French connotation but for the parish in which it sat. This is the Cherbourg that the community’s Ration Shed Museum, established in 2004 to mark the settlement’s centenary, commemorates, if not quite celebrates. And yet, despite the dark history of oppression and cruelty that surrounds it, there is much to celebrate in the heroic and uplifting stories of those who survived, and some that thrived."

Women with children at Barambah Aboriginal Settlement 1911

from State Library of Queensland

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    "1913 — The Dormitory system is expanded to include Mothers and their children. A policy of rescuing young women and children is introduced. It is not enough to remove them to a settlement for better care and protection, they have to be placed in a controlled environment. The dormitory system, which continued until the 1980s is a strict form of segregation and discipline."
