Story

I was young and wanted to see a bit of the world, My sister had migrated the year before and she wanted help with her young family, so I decided I would like to emigrate.

I travelled on board the MV Fairsea and there were four English girls and four Scottish girls in our cabin, all being young and single we had a wonderful time on board. We had to go round the Cape as there were troubles in the Suez Canal about that time. We met a lot of nice people.

I remember it being very hot when I arrived in Fremantle but not much else.
