Read their story

Charles initially settled in Perth working in Foy & Gibson in window display. However, a sense of adventure led him to buy a truck from Goomalling, load up his household goods & drive across the unsealed Nullarbor to share farm in central New South Wales where his family joined him in mid 1953.
