Truth-Telling with Aunty Dawn Daylight

Respected Elder Dawn Daylight, a Yugerra / Turrbal / Jarrawoir woman, at the age of 12 was stolen and sent to All Hallows’ convent – one of the wealthiest elite private schools in Brisbane, run by the Sisters of Mercy – where she was forced to work as a domestic servant.

“I don’t recall being taken nor do I know how I got to that place. I have a faint memory of a big, black car, but the details of that day are lost to me now.

As a child, you don’t really question those things; you just do as you’re told and what is expected of you. As a child, I never felt like I had a right to ask about what was going on around me.”

60 years later, she says she ‘is still searching for answers.’

In 2019, she was the subject of an SBS documentary, ‘Lost Daylight,’ chronicling her search, which continues.
