Read their story
Jim & Joyce brought their family to a new life & job in Melbourne. 18 month old Jenny had measles on the voyage, so the family were off-loaded in Fremantle. Adding to family troubles, most of their baggage was lost in transit. Precious family photos, books & heirlooms lost forever.
