Background to Diamantina Orphanage
DIAMANTINA ORPHANAGE
Soon after Sir George Bowen took up his post as Governor of Queensland in December 1859, he informed his superiors in Britain that, unlike in Europe, ‘distress and pauperism’ was unknown in Queensland. He might also have added that problems such as orphans and abandoned children, so widespread in Britain, did not exist. A rapid increase in the population in the early 1860s altered social conditions in the colony. Orphans and neglected children became an increasingly noticeable problem. A committee was formed to establish an orphanage.
The Government was approached to assist in the establishment of the orphanage and the site of the temporary fever hospital at Green Hills (Green Hills was an early name for the area which later became Albert Park) was made available to the committee. Several buildings already existed on the site and were converted for use as part of the orphanage. The orphanage opened in January 1866 and was called the Diamantina Orphanage after the wife of the Governor, Lady Roma Diamantina Bowen.
By 1870, the orphanage accommodated more than 170 children and it included separate dormitories for boys and girls, kitchen, laundry and scullery, and workshops. The establishment of the Roma Street Railway Station in 1875 created problems for the orphanage. The close proximity of the rail yards was not an ideal situation for the orphanage. Furthermore, the orphanage was situated on only four acres and the development of the Roma Street rail yards limited possible expansion of the orphanage. The committee decided to relocate the orphanage. In 1882 a 20- acre site at South Brisbane was gazetted (now the site of the Princess Alexandria Hospital) and a new orphanage opened the following year.
The orphanage site was subsequently taken over by the Railways Department.
