Description - Orphans of the Queen by Ruth Starke
Hilly and her younger brother Gregory are shipped to Australia at the end of 1952 as part of the British child migrant scheme. They have no clear idea of where Australia is but they believe that they are going to good foster homes, with lots of sunshine and fruit that they can pick off trees. However both of them end up in strictly run orphanages.
