AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Jack Moffatt was a 'dormo' boy - he grew up in the Dormitory on the Cherbourg Aboriginal Settlement. He tells of injustices and harsh conditions, and the impact it had on his life. But his story is also about survival, friendship, family, laughter and faith.'

Notes

  • Dedication:

    I dedicate the book to Jack's wife Ruth and their family, and to the Cherbourg dormitory boys, past and present.

    Many people have assisted me in the writing and publishing of Jack's story - too many to mention individually, but I give very special thanks to both of my long-time friends, Thom Blake and Bev Hickey.

    Ruth Hegarty
