Hi there
Just found this website.
I was at Dundas Migrant Hostel from 1966-1968 with my parents and my older brother.
I went to Oatlands school and remembered Mr. Bowman.
My brother went to Macquarie Boys High.
I can remember quite a bit about the hostel.
My mother used to teach in the pre school kindergaten on the premises.
I have some old photos somewhere
will have to find them.
Linda

Hi Linda, Welcome to our forums.

I wasn�t at Dundas Hostel myself but others here have.
If you do find those photos then please share them with us. Simply email them to me and I�ll add them to the forums (after I�ve added your families name and date onto them).

Hello Linda, hope you can locate your photos, I'm expecting to recognise you and your brother.

Incidentally, I don't suppose you know the date the hostel closed to the migrant popullation? I know it was used as a discharge base for the soldiers returning from Vietnam some time in the early 70s.

Hi Linda, My mother was also in the child care at Dundas. This was in the fifties. I went to Macarthur Girls High. Hope you can find your photos, would love to see them. Margaret B

Seems like photos of Dundas are rare. There must be some out there, all I have is one of the railway station.
