The Church Missionary Society Home for Half-Castes at Mulgoa was established in 1942. Aboriginal children were housed here after they were evacuated under military orders by the Commonwealth Department of Native Affairs. These children were brought from Croker Island and Groote Eylandt (Emerald River), as well as from South Australia, Far Western New South Wales and Queensland.
The children were aged from 1 to 14 and some were accompanied by their mothers. The Church Missionary Society Home for Half-Castes closed around 1947.
