Colebrook Home existed at four separate locations through its lifetime.
The United Aborigines Mission first established a home in 1924 near Oodnadatta, although it was not known as Colebrook Home at that time.[1]
The home then moved to a place called Colebrook, just outside Quorn in 1927, where it became known as Colebrook Home.[1]Adelaide businessman and philanthropist A. E. Gerard (1877–1950), who was involved with the foundation of Colebrook, wrote about its early days in his publication History of the UAM (1944).
In 1944 it was moved to Eden Hills, just outside Adelaide. That site closed in 1972, and is now the site of the Colebrook Reconciliation Park. The original Colebrook at Quorn is now a small Aboriginal community.[1]
