I emigrated to Australia with my family in March/April 1966. My family consisted of Dad Charles Wright, mum Doris and my younger brothers and sister Dave, Christine and Bob. We sailed on the Ellinis, a Chandris Lines ship. When we arrived we stayed at Villawood hostel for two weeks and then moved to Bradfield Park. It was a big shock to us all at first but after only a few months we settled in and I loved living in Australia. My mum and dad got very homesick though and wanted to come back to England although us kids, I was 15 at the time, were all very happy and loved it. We stayed on the hostel the whole time we were in Australia and came back to England in June 1968 on the Fairstar, a Sitmar Line ship. I have never had the opportunity to go back although have always wanted to.
