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].

From History of the Commercial and Financial Relations between England and Ireland from the Period of the Restoration: Basket-work is carried on as a cottage industry in several places in the west and south of Ireland; at Letterfrack, in Connemara, the industry is especially flourishing. There is no doubt that one great way to improve the condition of agricultural Ireland is the development of these cottage and art industries. With the exception of the home-spun woollen industry and the lace-making industry they are still on a small scale, but taken in the bulk they give a good deal of subsidiary employment, and there is reason to believe that before long they will increase greatly.

From The Englishwoman's Review of Social and Industrial Questions: 1898: Ms Sturge has issued a notice to customers of the basket industry, which she has so successfully planted and nurtured in Connemara, that an expert in basket work is now in charge of the industry, and all orders are to be henceforth addressed to the Manager, Connemara Basket Industry, Letterfrack, Galway

As with every improvement in the country, it was the Quakers: connemarawest.ie/product/sophia-sturge-and-the-connemara-...
