Eileen Cummings was forcibly removed from her family when she was just four years old.
She remembers playing on the homestead s verandah at the station where she lived, when a man pulled up in a truck, asking if she wanted to go for a ride.
The next thing she knew, they were driving away from the station. I was removed from my mother, my Country, my people, everything, and put into an institution at Croker Island, Ms Cummings said. We were removed because we were classed as half-caste children. .For the first few years I cried and cried because I wanted my mother.
