My uncle and aunt went to Aus as £10.00 poms in the fifties. I was grown up and married by the time I saw them. Thanks for showing us, Sam.

This brings back memories, my mother was taking myself and my siblings on the £10 assisted scheme, but they refused us because my Father had died and classed us as an incomplete family!
But Maria, just think of the flies and all that lager!!

You're welcome, Andrew. On closer inspection of the ticket, I see poor Joan was always destined to come to Australia. Her middle name is Bruce.Thanks for showing us, Sam.
