About Cranbrook Place
Cranbrook Place in Orleigh Park was once the location of the Aboriginal Girls Home at West End, which served as a depot for Aboriginal girls being sent into domestic work.
Each year, we gather here to remember the lives of those who lived in the home and to honour their descendants, many of whom join us annually.
About Sorry Day
Please note: Link-Up (Qld)’s Sorry Day Breakfast is held annually on the Friday before National Sorry Day.
National Sorry Day (also known as the National Day of Healing) is held each year on 26 May and marks the anniversary of the tabling of the Bringing Them Home report in Federal Parliament in 1997. The report documented the forced removal of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children from their families and called for acknowledgement, apology and reparations. Sorry Day emerged in 1998 as a community-led response to the report’s findings and the initial refusal of governments to apologise. It is observed on the eve of National Reconciliation Week (27 May–3 June) and provides an important opportunity to honour Stolen Generations survivors and reflect on the ongoing journey of truth-telling, healing and justice.
