Olinda Farm Reformatory was a training farm for up to six boys located in South Wandin (now known as Silvan), three miles from Lilydale.
Olinda was in operation for less than a decade, and throughout its entire existence was operated by Max and Louisa Brown.
It was run on a 'family-like' model where everyone, including the Browns, was required to contribute to the farm work.
