We arrived with 7 children - 5 girls, 2 boys. The hostel could only accomadate 4 children. Fairbridge Farm School met us at the boat and took 3 girls back to Fairbridge where they stayed for two years, giving us time to work and buy our first ever home, in the new suburb of Orelia.

After a great life in Australia and working from the day he arrived. Dennis passed away in July 2014. We can only thank this country of ours for providing us a home.
