The authors draw upon a rich life history archive of letters, diaries, personal photographs and oral history interviews with former migrants, including those who settled in Australia and those who returned to Britain. They offer original interpretations of key historical themes, including motivations for emigration; gender relations and the family dynamics of migration; the 'very familiar and awfully strange' confrontation with the new world; the anguish of homesickness and return; and the personal and national identities of both settlers and returnees, fifty years on. --book cover.

An important slice of Australia's immigration story, detailing the 1960s push for British migrants. I don't want to go to Australia. I have just started grammar school. My best friend Sally goes there too. But it looks like there could be another war and Dad has convinced Mum to go. Because we're migrants, the voyage is costing Mum and Dad only £10 each. My brother Brian and I are travelling free. It's a long way to Australia. What if we never come back to England? In the 1950s and 60s Australia welcomed thousands of British immigrants as part of the Assisted Passage Migration Scheme. Ten Pound Pom is the true story of award-winning author Carole Wilkinson's immigration to Australia.

The Ten Pound Poms is a story about more than just the small number of individuals portrayed in this book. During 1945 to 1973 over one million Britons left hte UK to start a new life on the other side of the world. Leaving family and friends behind, especially elderly parents was a major concern, knowing in all probability they may never see them again. In post-war Britain conditions were tough, and most wanted a chance to rebuild their lives away from the atrocities of war. Australia provided that opportunity. It offered hope and a new life to anyone who wanted it - a chance to escape. Ten pounds was a pittance to pay to discover if the grass really was greener on the other side. This book tells the candid story of three young brothers with nothing to lose, who in their naivety, saw the Australian Assisted Passage Scehem as a chance to see the world and an opportunity for an incredible two-year adventure. For their parents however, it brought an emptiness from which they would never recover. They left England in 1964 and the countless life experiences they endured strengthened their resolve immeasurably and the young woman who accompanied John back to the UK was an absolute joy. This book demonstrates succinctly the undeniable role that destiny can play in shaping people's lives. The Ten Pound Poms may be relics from a bygone era, but hopefully their spirit of optimism, adventure and endeavour remain just as relevant in today's society as they were all those years ago.

"Come to sunny Australia for £10!" Who could resist such an invitation? Certainly not newly-weds Sandra and Geoff, who were just two of the thousands of migrants leaving the UK in the sixties and seventies to travel to the other side of the world to begin a new life in Australia, full of high hopes and expectations. Follow their journey from Leicester in the Midlands to Perth in Western Australia, sailing from Southampton via Las Palmas in the Canary Islands and Cape Town in South Africa, and then overland from Perth to Melbourne in the State of Victoria. Their journey began in Southampton in December 1967 - a 25-day voyage aboard the migrant ship 'Fairstar', with cramped sleeping quarters, but good food and entertainment, and the chance to make life-long friends. Follow their struggle to find work and a permanent home to raise a family, while learning about the places they lived and the people they met in Australia. Share in their joys and sorrows, and read of the reasons for their difficult decision to return to Britain ten years later.

Rose slipped getting off a London bus, it could happen to anyone her age, nothing to make a fuss about. But being in hospital with time on her hands is bringing unwelcome memories - her family's disastrous emigration to Australia in the 1950s, their struggles to survive, her husband Len's affair, and the misery of their daughter Mattie - none of it the life of bliss she described in her letters home. But now Rose is back in England and Mattie is flying in for the first time. Which of Rose's carefully guarded secrets will Mattie reveal? And what will she tell them about the most important one of all - about Rose's son that she hasn't seen or heard of for fifteen years? And is Mattie hiding a secret of her own?

In 1976, Niall's family emigrated to Australia, as part of the £10 Pom scheme. He lived there for 3 years, moving from Brisbane to Perth in a souped-up station wagon. 30 years later, he returned to retrace his steps; this is a memoir, travelogue, rant, paean, elegy, and perhaps the closest thing to an autoibiography that Niall will ever write.

'The Editorial Committee of the dictionary of Australian English, led by Arthur Delbridge, were adamant that their dictionary was to be descriptive. It was an important point of difference from traditional dictionary policy. This dictionary would give an account of Australian English as it was heard and written. We wanted it all: spoken, written, technical, polite, rude. The speech of labourers, the jargon of merchants, swearwords, Australianisms, as well as the basic core of English vocabulary.' The idea for a dictionary of Australian English was conceived in the 1960s, but it wasn't until 1981 that the first edition of the Macquarie Dictionary was published. More Than Words tells the story of how the dictionary was brought to life during this period -- from identifying the need for a genuinely Australian dictionary to the long road towards publication -- and explores how the dictionary has evolved over the years since then.
