There has been a history written on Kilmany Park Boys Home by one of its residents who lived in Maffra, their name totally escapes me as does the title of the book. There is most likely a copy in the Maffra Library. Majella if you are reading this you may remember who it was. The daughter and her parents particularly her mum who often attended with her daughter had a lot to do with the Resource Centre. Age does not serve my memory well.

The title was "Better Off in a Home" or similar. I think the author was a Bill Smith. He lived there in the late '20s early '30s I think. Do you or anyone else know if he's still around?
