NSW Boys Home Grounds to be Explored After Possible Human Burial Sites Revealed
Leaked Report Finds Secret Graves at Kinchela Boys Home The report may confirm the long-held belief of survivors of the home, that Aboriginal boys detained at the institution died there. The Guardian Australia 28 JUL 2024 ![]() ![]() ![]() Government move to engage archaeological specialists comes after ‘suspicious’ locations identified at Kinchela Aboriginal institution... ![]() ![]() Between 1924 and 1970, it's believed almost 600 Aboriginal boys, as young as five, were taken from their families and detained there. Today, only 56 survivors remain. ‘Taken to hell’: even today survivors of Kinchela boys’ home are known by their numbers The New South Wales government will engage a specialist to explore the site of a notorious boys home where locations “consistent with clandestine human burials” have been found using ground-penetrating radar. ![]() (L-R) James Michael "Widdy" Welsh #36, Uncle Richard "Bear" Campbell #28, Uncle Roger "Pigeon" Jarrett #12, Uncle Allan Roosevelt "Boomp" Cooper # 4, and Uncle Robert "Bullfrog" Young #24 at Kinchela Boys Home, Kinchela, NSW, Australia In September, Guardian Australia revealed there are at least nine “suspicious” sites of possible graves on the grounds of Kinchela Aboriginal Boys Training Home, one of the most violent and abusive institutions of the stolen generations era. A report by experts surveying the area using ground-penetrating radar (GPR) highlighted “high priority anomalies” in the ground at the home, which show “signal patterns that in other contexts have proven to be human burials” and cannot be explained by other information sources. “Some evidence supports the use of cadaver dogs in finding buried human remains,” the report said. The report recommended further physical searches of the entire property near the north coast NSW town of Kempsey. If human remains are found in those areas, the report said, “they would likely be of the clandestine burial type and not typical Christian burials”. |
