Learn something new while you're stuck in the house in quarantine, and a bit wary about 'mingling with the mob' outside. Find out what happened during the 'migrant invasion' of the 1950s and 60s, when millions arrived from Europe after the war, during the '£10 Pom' scheme. The history of a typical migrant hostel (Gepps Cross Hostel in South Australia), AND the overall experience of those migrants who arrived in Australia, is available on a two disc set, playable on a computer or a television set. Find out why a quarter of a million disillusioned people returned to Britain, when they were forced to live in a tin hut in old army camps on arrival here. And, you don't even have to leave your house to find out, as the disc set can be sent (post free), to anywhere in Australia. It includes many photos and articles, plus two hours of recorded audio interviews with former migrants. If your family or friends came out to Australia during this time, you may even find the names amongst the many names mentioned.
