Did you know??
For 74 years Mt Penang Parklands was home to the Gosford Farm Home for Boys. It opened in 1912 for teenage boys who were dependent, neglected, delinquent or serious offenders. Initially, the boys lived in tents while they built temporary accommodation for the 681 acre ‘industrial farm’.
By 1914, the Department of Public Instruction considered the farm one of the best constructed and most up-to-date institutions for juvenile offenders in the Southern Hemisphere.... 90 to 100 boys worked on site daily, gaining skills in building, carpentry and agriculture.
Detainees lived in dormitories and attended school and vocational technical training during the week. The centre’s doctrine was rehabilitation through education and physical labour.
Indeed, the construction of the Centre's major buildings between 1912 and 1922 relied on the inmates’ labour. With the assistance of local builders and carpenters, the boys constructed some twenty buildings, many of which are still in use today.
