We left Point Walter to go to Collie by 'train'. Whilst at Point Walter we children were taken and lined up to be photographed. In Scotland our photo that was taken there was used by the Immigration Dept on large posters to encourage others. The photo taken here was used by the media. I have a colour postcard of the Asturias.
