Story
Reason for leaving homeland – March 1959 to go to australia for a better life
About the Journey – just got married to Roseline Drinkwater – sailed from London via Suez Canal, Sri Lanka to Fremantle on SS Orion. It was a honeymoon trip.
On arrival in Fremantle it was a culture shock – it was so run down. Then Adelaide which was a beautiful city, thence to Melbourne on a Sunday – no hotels open- it was dead. Finally to Sydney where we were bused to Wallgrove ex-army camp miles from nowhere no transport but a long walk to Rooty Hill station but we survived.
