Background and early careerBorn illegitimately in Eastbourne, East Sussex in 1946, into an impoverished family of four boys, Hill and his twin brother spent time in Barnardo's children's home in Barkingside in Essex.[1] {{quotation|I can only remember it as traumatic. The idea of nurturing and care and affection and love just didn't enter the equation back in those days. I can remember Mum gave us some coloured writing paper so we could write to her. I remember the other kids stealing our paper, humiliating us, tearing it up and running away. It was only much later I realised a lot of this cruelty was that most of them didn't have anybody to write to.|David Hill, interviewed in 2008.}}Hill's early years of schooling were at Bourne Junior Primary School. He migrated to Australia together with his elder brother and twin brother, and departed from Tilbury Docks, London in April 1959 aboard the SS Strathaird. His mother arrived in Australia a few years later.[1][3] Prior to departing England, Hill and his brothers had enrolled to attend Fairbridge Farm School in Molong, near {{NSWcity|Orange}} in the Central West region of New South Wales. Hill has since written a book about the experiences of the pupils there.[3] The documentary The Long Journey Home was aired on ABC TV on 17 November 2009, detailing some of the history associated with Fairbridge Farm School and other orphanages of that time. Prior to his rise to prominence in business circles, Hill was variously a hardware shop assistant, a sandwich cutter, a labourer on building sites, a refuse collector and gardener, he sold tennis coaching courses, worked as a barman, waiter, pub bouncer, delivery agent, tutor at the University of Sydney, was a journalist, worked in investment banking, as an accountant, and was in charge of the NSW Government Ministerial Advisory Unit.[1] CareerIn 1982, at 36 years of age,[3] Hill was appointed as the chief executive of the New South Wales State Rail Authority, serving until 1987;[7] and he was appointed as a director of State Rail in 1997.[7] Hill served as chairman and managing director of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation from 1987 to 1995,[2] head of Soccer Australia, chairman of Sydney Water,[3] director of the Australian National Airlines Commission and Chairman of CREATE, a national organisation responsible for representing the interests of young people and children in institutional care.
