“Bonegilla-The migrant’s journey” shows first hand interviews of post war migrants from various European countries and their photos, home movies and documents. After World War 2, there were millions of displaced people searching for homes and a new start. Australia committed itself to accepting boatloads of these refugees.
“Bonegilla-The migrant’s journey”, charts the “New Australian’s” time during the war and how that influenced their decision to find a new home. It then charts their travel by ships to the other side of the world, their arrival in a land they knew nothing about. Being housed in spartan migrant camps like Bonegilla and their eventual acceptance of Australia as their new home.
You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. But most of all you’ll be truly inspired by these gutsy pioneers who left everything behind and travelled to a country they knew nothing about.
Meals and drinks available from the Polish Club gourmet kitchen and bar.
