Peter and Graham, At a guess [although I have never heard it referred to as Orphanage Hill] might be that spur of Castle Hill right behind where the old orphanage was - set well back from the corner of Warburton and Landsborough Sts [prior to the building of the Crippled Children's Home late 50s /early 60s, which was closer to the corner, directly opposite Ahern and Powell's shop]. My thoughts for this morning ... before coffee! I grew up in Rowland Street and remember the orphanage well - surrounded by huge mango trees.
