poppins Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Saw a documentary last year about this move,many people were discriminated against weren't they ? things they couldn't get away with now-a days, even if you had a small child that didn't even "look right" you couldn't board a ship.

Downsunder Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I would like to see that documentary. Personally, I never heard of anything like that but that doesn't mean it didn't happen. Now, if your skin was anything but white in the 50's and 60's, you could have had a problem emigrating to Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scousemouse Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Hi spunkee, when were you at Greystones school? I was there from 1956-60 I don't recall your name, but perhaps you were there after me. (appreciate your post is now four years old!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussieblade Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Hi, I was born in Sheffield, ( Meersbrook ), and sailed for Melbourne in 1964. My wife and I visit W.A. frequently, as eldest daughter and family live in Woodridge. We have 3 teenage grandkids there, and look forward so much to our visits. My name is Ed Harvey, and I went to Carfield Primary, then High Storrs, then worked at Jos.Pickering & Sons before migrating at age 21. Love it here. Regards to all Forumers.
