Description
Unidentified Aboriginal Australian children line up outside 'The Bungalow' at the Alice Springs Telegraph Station. 'The Bungalow' was an institution for Aboriginal children removed from their communities during the Stolen Generations. 'The Bungalow' existed in three locations Alice Springs (1914-1925), Jay Creek (1925-1932) and Alice Springs Telegraph Stations (1932-1942). The children living in these sites experienced rough living conditions including overcrowding, food and water insecurity, inadequate sanitation and sexual assault. The historical caption for this photograph refers to the children as "half caste".
