IT is a case of shocking depravity which came to rest in the hills surrounding a picturesque farming community nestled in a valley southwest of Sydney.
Some had oddly-formed features, which scientific tests would later reveal was a result of "homozygosity" or identical gene patterns of both of the children's parents.
Police and welfare officers were shocked by the appalling squalor and degradation on a property where children were found to be the result of incestuous relationships.
The police and welfare officers were taking in the squalor, the deprivation and the fact some of the children seemed developmentally delayed or cognitively impaired.
What they didn't realise was the children were the result of intimate relations between brothers and sisters, and uncles and nieces and fathers and daughters. Their family threw back to a set of great-great grandparents who were a brother and sister.
The family compulsion was regenerating itself.

- Dirt caked the surfaces of stoves and cooking facilities, rotten vegetables lay in a refrigerator and a kangaroo was sleeping on one of the children's beds.
- Exposed electric wires, bags of rubbish and chainsaws lay about.
- There were no toilets, showers or baths.
- The children were unwashed and wore dirty clothes.
- They were shy and made little eye contact.
- Few were capable of intelligible speech; almost all had fungal infections in their feet.
