This facility in the Adelaide suburbs is former defence housing and backs on to a military training facility. There was much outrage by locals when the facility was first slated for use by asylum seekers. 

This facility houses family groups and has within it something akin to a pre-school (where a parent must accompany their child) and is set up so that families can cater their own meals. 

Primary school aged children are escorted to local school by Serco guards. Visits and commuity support via the Hills Circle of Friends are common-place.

Pregnant women and their families who were detained on Nauru have been moved to this facility as Nauru is deemed an unsafe place to give birth. 

The Abbott Government has announced that this facility will close by the end of 2014. People detained there are terrified at the thought of transfer from here to Nauru.
