Colebrook Blackwood Reconciliation Park
27 February, 1998
Colebrook Home was a children’s institution in South Australia for Aboriginal children. Colebrook Reconciliation Park, at one of the institution’s former sites, is a memorial to the children and families who were separated through sending children to Colebrook Home. Two statues – “the Fountain of Tears” and the “Grieving Mother” – have been created and installed there.
