On this day 46 years ago

Well, it was 46 years ago today, I arrived as a ten year old migrant with my family from England.  The documents below show how and when we arrived in this country we now call home.

 

The years have simply flown by or so it seems. I am now a husband, father and a grandfather, and so the family continues to grow. I served 22 years in the Australian Military and saw operational service overseas. My final employment was 11 years with Qantas Airways which is ironic really as we arrived in Australia on QF736 from London to Sydney.

 

I was sort of forced into an early retirement due to ill health and now live on a veterans pension on a half acre block in the beautiful Glass House Mountains. I am also a published author and a keen writer of fiction and non-fiction.
