Latest News and a Newsletter Update
Hi Clannies! Unfortunately the latest newsletter is going to be late due to the editor being sick. Here is some latest news from Leonie via X (formerly known as Twitter) for those who aren’t on there.
This includes Terry and John’s experiences in Victorian orphanages, and Margaret’s donation to the Australian Orphanage Museum of books related to care in Ballarat orphanages.
