thank you for sharing this. my father was a lithuanian POW in germany and rescued by the britsh. eventually got to naples and then came to bonegilla for a few more years. despite the harsh conditions it did provide migrants with skills in language and jobs.

I have mentioned before.I went to Albury as a kid I remember someone involved with the United Nations Cafe outside the camp on the road to Wodonga & a family from Europe who arrived at Bonegilla with nothing. The story of thar family still moves me. Also my father actually lived under where the Hume Weir is now . Albury & Wodonga were a big part of my child hood .
