Read their story

In 1941, while nursing in Bournemouth, I met and married an Australian airman from Perth. In 1946, I sailed with our two small children in the bride ship Atlantis, reaching Fremantle one month later. The family settled in Applecross where it has thrived and has now spread around Australia.
