Dear Friends (particularly those closer to Adelaide),
Sunday 4th November; 1pm lunch; 2pm guided tour.
For several months the ALM M&O committee has been attempting to set up a Friends’ visit to the Colebrook Home site at Eden Hills, and I am pleased to tell you that this has now been achieved. The Chairman of Blackwood Reconciliation Group will be there to be our guide. He is the son of one of the stolen generation. Also as a guide will be Di Grigg who is a member of BRG, and Milli Stein is a member of this group.
We have been encouraged lately to involve ourselves more in Aboriginal matters, and we hope Friends will take advantage of this opportunity.
The plan is for us to arrive at about 1pm for a picnic lunch, so please take your own food and cold drinks. Tea and coffee will be available, and there is a barbecue which we may use.

Our guided tour will start at 2pm.
The Colebrook Home site is on Shepherds Hill Rd about 2 kms down from the Blackwood roundabout, heading west. It is on the left hand, or southern side of Shepherds Hill Rd, past Wittunga and schools. Look for a soccer field on the left then turn left at the next opportunity into a small car park just after the soccer field. This is the car park for the Colebrook site, and the signs for Colebrook are a little further down Shepherds Hill Rd. You may also park on Shepherds Hill Rd on either side, and there is a median strip with occasional breaks if you need to make a U turn.
If you are approaching from the South Road end of Shepherds Hill Road, the site is opposite Tiparra Street.
The closest railway station is Eden Hills; walk up Willunga St and then turn right on to Barunga Street, cross over Shepherds Hill Rd, and turn right. It is a 10 to 15 minute walk from the station, mostly up-hill. Please check a map first. Trains run every ½ hour.
There are some rock seats and wooden seats at the site, and art works include sculptures and a mural painting. A walking trail is nearby for those who would like to walk in this part of the Adelaide hills face zone.
I hope to see you there
