Leaving Zagreb on the way to Genova, we were told of the maritime strike, which wouldn't allow us to board the ship in Genova, so that we had to go to Messina, where we boarded the Oceania. On arrival in Fremantle there was an advertisement on the wool sheds “Goodyear”. I thought I'd arrived at the right time.
