Tiniest Ten Pound Pom

In 1959, Janice is born and six months later, despairing of ever being able to buy a home in the UK, the family decides to up sticks and move to Australia.

‘Within a decade, a family of two became a family of six. Together my parents built a dream and when I was six months old, they packed what they could and with four young children, boarded a ship bound for Australia in search of that dream. That was the day we became what was known as Ten Pound Poms.’

Her parents buy some acreage just outside a small hamlet about 70 kilometres north of Melbourne in a tough and arid land. Will this new life in Australia make or break Janice? Only time will tell.

In 1959, s-a nascut Janice si sase luni mai tarziu, disperata de a putea cumpara vreodata o casa in Marea Britanie, familia decide sa ridice bastoane si sa se mute in Australia. „Intr-un deceniu, o familie de doi a devenit o familie de sase. Impreuna, parintii mei au construit un vis si, cand aveam sase luni, au impachetat tot ce au putut si, impreuna cu patru copii mici, s-au imbarcat pe o nava care se indrepta spre Australia in cautarea acelui vis.
