BiographyHistory

Penny Everaardt's mother died when Everaardt was an infant. Everaardt was separated from her father and sent to Cootamundra Girls' Home, the same institution her mother had been sent to as a girl. Everaardt worked as a domestic after her time in the Home and began training to be a nurse but was refused because of her Aboriginality.

Everaardt'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).
