Hostels, to me, is a sense of family history: Anne Martin

Anne Martin, managing director of Aboriginal Hostels Ltd. tells how they grew out of a trip made by Senator Neville Bonner and Charles Perkins to Brisbane in 1973 where they saw the need for accommodation for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, particularly those coming to the cities for work or study. Now, these hostels are largely run by Aboriginal people and are an essential support for those so far from home.

PLEASE NOTE

All the video recordings on this website were made at least a decade ago. Some are fifteen years old.

What the speakers say on camera was based on their own knowledge and researches at the time each video was made. Since then a great deal of information has come to hand which may make some of the information first recorded now outdated. Therefore please regard this website as a period piece presenting knowledge held and believed at the time of recording.
