Read their story
John Lorimer was a WWII veteran whose ships had been bombed three times in the Atlantic. Post war he was keen to find a new life in a new country for his young family. Australia, the land of opportunity beckoned and the Family arrived in June 1956. We applaud John and Elsie's courage.
