OMG! We came out by plane in 1957 too, in January. Hungary to Austria to Bonegilla then Wagga Wagga and finally to Melbourne.
The year in Wagga is golden in my memory. Four years old, roaming the neighbourhood with the local kids. 🙂
Btw, loved the book.

Brilliant.
When were you in Bonegilla?
Did you know that you can have a small plaque erected on a memorial wall there – It is just a large business card size and lists family members and arrival dates, that kind of thing.
A small thing but it had my family members in tears when they saw it. Very moving.
Let me know if you want details, I’ll dig up what I have.

Enjoyed this interview, Frank. It brings back many fond memories of my own childhood.
Fantastic, Jacquie. Whereabouts are you in the wide world?
