George Brown College at Haberfield was a hostel used to house 20 Aboriginal children who had been evacuated from Croker Island (Northern Territory) during World War II by the Church Missionary Society. While staying at George Brown College, the Croker Island children attended Haberfield Public School. The evacuees had left by 1946.
Claire Henty-Gebert, one of the Croker Island evacuees, has written that she was told the hostel had a giant bed made for the Queen Salote of Tonga but she never saw it.
