Hi, although I'm not a migrant who lived at Cabra hostel, I certainly spent a lot of time there as I went to Cabramatta high school.
My best friends were english or scottish migrants, and I always thought them the most exiting people with their 'anoraks'and other strange sounding names for the clothing we Aussies called by different names.......

My first friend was a girl called Margaret Moffat, I think she left in 1966 to go live in Public housing in a new estate called Greenvalley, which became notorious in the late 60's early 70's.

I remember the prefects on the middle gate at lunch time at school trying to stop us from sneaking over into the hostel for fun and games at lunch time.
