|
|
Hi all,
Came to Australia in 1974 as a bub, so really only very limited memories of Pennington Hostel in Adelaide. Watched a program today called 'Ten Pound Poms' on ABC iView and would love to purchase it. Unfortunately ABC shop have discontinued it and I am having no luck try to source it else where.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated as I want to give it to my parents and I now realise what they had to go through to give us such a great life in Oz.
Cheers,
Dave. |

hi dave,
and welcome to the forum, it's a little quiet here by the looks, but in relation to your query on 10 pound poms i don't know if it is still available to buy but i do know telstra big pond had it for rent not long ago, or maybe try your local video shop.
Also you could try Get Price dot com dot au they have access to a lot of those type of things. Hope you have luck finding a copy it was worth watching.
regards Oibert. |

there is very little about hostels on the DVD ,mostly about people who came out and worked so in that regard it was a little disappointing ,but if you have seen it already you would know that. _________________ Kind regards,

Hi Dave,
Just in case you haven't already discovered it, there's a very good book by the same name. Authors James Hammerton and Alistair Thompson. They draw quite a bit on oral histories which makes it an interesting read.
I'm working on a research project about the migrant hostels in South Australia, including Pennington. If you're interested you can find out more here: http://migration.historysa.com.au/research/callouts/hostel-stories
We're planning an exhibition at the Migration Museum, in Adelaide, for December 2013.
