Re: £10 Assisted Passage
Talking about this the other day. My Dad mentioned it in the 1950's around 58. My Mum was a agrophobe so couldn't see her going and of course she asked us children. My two elder Brothers were both working and only one would have gone with us. I was only 11 and couldn't imagine what it would be like for 6 weeks on a ship with my Dad who I didn't like. Never even got to Australia in my mind. The trip put me off. Plus no pictures of what Australia looked like etc. So apart from the film A Town Called Alice, I didn't know much and my parents certainly didn't have good persuasive attitudes to going there.Re: £10 Assisted Passage
We almost went. The kids were young and the life looked good.Re: £10 Assisted Passage
My bestest friend went, in 1967. I remember it was the year before I left school. They went by ship and stayed with her dad's brother. I went out there 9 years ago this summer and stayed with her for about 10 days, and remember asking her if she already had family out there. I also know that a brother and two sisters went with their families too.Thread Tools | |
