This is a building that now holds Aboriginal Hostels Pty
Ltd. Aboriginal Hostels Pty Ltd provides accommodation to
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students who need to
leave their home communities to further their education.
According to Lester Bostock, the building was originally a
rehabilitation clinic for Aboriginal people called Bennelong
Haven. Bennelong Haven was started in the 1960s by Val
Bryant.
Aboriginal Hostels Limited is of importance to the local
Aboriginal community because of the help it has provided to
Aboriginal people as well as allowing them self-determination
since it is run by Aboriginal people. |
