Hi Peter, discovered your site, my parents came to Australia aboard the 'Goya' and were sent to Bathurst as well. I have been unable to find anything regarding there entry to the country. But i noticed on your page you have pictures/documents and was wondering how i go about getting the same for my father. Could you please contact me at peterrados@bigpond.com
Kind regards Peter.
Hello Peter. Most impressed with your site. I came abroad SSNelly in 1950 with my sister and parents. Really excited when I saw the photographs. We were housed in tents initially and eventually in one of the rooms in a hut, which we shared with another family. Most of the men were sent to Villawood, so that they were closer to the factories, etc. around Sydney to complete their two year contract with the Government I would also be very happy to obtain photographs if possibe, as well as of our ship Nelly (arrived January 1950 Sydney Harbour. My contact is anne.tasonyi@gmail.com.
Thanks in anticipation
