BiographyHistory

Elizabeth Hinchcliffe and her nine siblings were all removed from their parents' care when Hinchcliffe was fourteen months old. Hinchcliffe was sent to live at the Bidura Depot at Glebe, but her siblings were separated and sent to various institutions. Hinchcliffe was fostered and then adopted as a young child. She located her birth mother in 1991 and reunited with her in 1993. Later on Hinchcliffe became interested in the farming industry.

Hinchcliffe's story was recorded by the National Library of Australia for the Bringing Them Home oral history project and appeared in the associated publication Many Voices: Reflections on experiences of Indigenous child separation edited by Doreen Mellor and Anna Haebich (2002).
