YOU may find yourself coming to several road blocks when you dig into Neerkol Orphanage's dark and horrific past. Some Neerkol Orphanage records, kept in a basement in a Brisbane city
building, were destroyed in 1974 when a flood swept through the state's
capital.
The number of records lost is not known. That's what Department of Families and Communities officer Majella Ryan
told the Royal Commission yesterday when she gave evidence regarding
the state's role with the orphanage.
