Read their story
Arie and his family were destined for Melbourne. When the ship called in at Fremantle he was told there was work available for him in Perth, so the family disembarked. Arie built his own house in Cloverdale, which was to be the family home for 43 years. Another daughter, Josina, was born in 1955.
