5 weeks on a ship to Australia with loads of other £10 Poms in the 60s then another 5 weeks coming back 2 years later has put me off 'cruise' ships for life, dreadful


Have you seen those magic metal flying bird thingys in the sky , it's like magic or are you from Wigan
it was the early 1960s, if you chose to emigrate to Australia it was a joint government scheme, hence you was packed off on a ship crammed in with thousands of others you didn't have a choice they kept I as cheap as possible hence the saying ''£10 Poms'' google it, it will give you nightmares

What ship was it ? We went on the Australis. I can only remember bits and pieces though because I was only 6. I remember getting off at Fremantle though: 12th October 1971.

The Greek Chandris line ship Ellinis, we arrived in 1963, we eventually settled in Beaconsfield Fremantle but my Mam and Dad split up as my Mam hated it and she brought us back
We came back on an Italian ship called M/N Aurelia, I'v just dug ut my 'crossing the Equator certificate' that is dated 6.11.65 i'v kept it all those years lol
