He was told his mother didn't want him, that he was 'the scum of the earth' and was locked up in the notorious Kinchela Boys Home for eight years. His experiences there would shape his life forever. Bill Simon got angry, something which poisoned his life for the next two decades. A life of self abuse and crime finally saw him imprisoned. But Bill Simon has turned his life around and in Back on The Block, he hopes to help others to do the same. 606 $aAboriginal Australians$vBiography 606 $aAboriginal Australians$zAustralia$zRedfern (N.S.W.)$vBiography 606 $aStolen generations (Australia)$vBiography 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAboriginal Australians 615 0$aAboriginal Australians 615 0$aStolen generations (Australia) 676 $a305.89915092 700 $aSimon$b Bill$f1947-$01043335 701 $aMontgomerie$b Des$01043336 701 $aTuscano$b Jo$01043337 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453124103321 996 $aBack on the block$92468243 997 $aUNINA
