We meant to go to Melbourne, but a VW Manager in Perth offered my husband a job as a mechanic, so we stayed in Perth and never regretted it. Our 2 children are married here and happy in WA. Sadly my husband died so early.

My family planned to go to Melbourne when leaving Bremerhaven in January 1960. We arrived in Fremantle in February 1960, I think it was the 25th - I was only a young child then - where we got off the MS Aurelia because my dad was offered a job by VW in Perth as well. He worked there as a spray painter for some time. What a coincidence!
