Escape from Cockatoo Island
Escape from Cockatoo Island | Yvette Poshoglian
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
"I am in the middle of Sydney Harbour, stuck on this place the masters call Cockatoo Island... I am here because I am an orphan, but I cannot help feeling like I have been sent here for doing something wrong. It is 1879 and life in the Biloela Industrial School is tough for eleven-year-old Olivia Markham. Her windswept days are filled with sewing, washing and avoiding the girls from the Reformatory School. Sydney is rapidly growing and modernising, but Olivia can only imagine what life is like beyond the shores of Cockatoo Island. She dreams of freedom, friendship and, above all, family. Can she ever escape?"

My 1st hoard from #sustainablestockton was from a crafty lady‘s house. The kids got lots of bits & bobs to craft with eg. Beads & I got heaps of fabric & these books. Sustainable Stockton is a local woman‘s initiative. She created a Facebook page as everyone is socially isolating & cleaning their houses. The op shops aren‘t open & people want the stuff gone. Everyone puts their crap out the front of their houses & people come along & kerb burgle.
