Emigrating to Australia was the best decision my parents ever made. We all achieved good outcomes. I became a secretary/admin officer, one brother became an accountant and the other a Lt Commander in the Australia Navy. I now have two sons in the RAAF. Australia is “home.”

  • Hi Janet

    Have been looking for you for a number of years now and have often thought about you.

    June Furneaux at Maris Convent with you till you emigrated to Perth.

    Contact me if you wish my email is Hannah@dencorecasting.co.uk

    It would be great to roll back the years!
