Hi
We arrived in Queensland from England via Fairsky in 1963 and lived at the Wacol Migrant centre in 1963 - 1964.

I could not think of any better place to stay (as a 12 year old) as we got used to life in Australia. I went to Goodna State School (then Salisbury High and Corinda High)

Great times as Wacol was the bush back then!
Cheers
Eugene Butkowski (back then it was Podge!)
