Hi there, I was 9 years old when my parents, and 3 sisters arrived at Cabramatta in the April. I hated it. It was a far cry from what we were used to. My sister Sarah who was 15 at the time met a few people her own age, but my other two older sisters and myself found life very difficult. I can remember we lived next door to a family who was in quarranteen. We didn't stay long and moved about for years. I think we counted 14 schools in 7 years. I love Australia now but it took a lot of years to forgive my parents for splitting our family apart, as we left 2 married sisters and a brother in the UK. I plan to make my first trip home next year. |
