Iris Clay was born on Palm Island, an Aboriginal reserve off the coast of Queensland, near Townsville.  Iris Clay Hostel honours a courageous Aboriginal woman who was a campaigner for her people’s legal rights and argued strongly for more Aboriginal social services.  Iris was also a Director of AHL from 1974 to 1976.  Iris Clay passed away in 1979.
