old home

I went back to my old home town of Wodonga at the weekend, and revisited lots of my old haunts. The most interesting, was the Bonegilla Migrant Heritage Park. Both my parents came through there before their new lives began in Australia. It was a very difficult time for a lot of people and then not so difficult for others, my Mother was very young and romantic, she met my Father on the ship coming to Australia , for her there was a lot of fun and not too much to worry about. When I took her there for the 50th annivesary cellabrations, her memories where happy ones. There is a wall where plaques can be placed in memory of the people who came through there, and I will have one placed there for my Mother.
