| Summary |
"Bonegilla was a point of reception and temporary accommodation for approximately 320,000 post-war refugees and assisted migrants to Australia from 1947 to 1971. Its function was integral to the postwar immigration scheme, which was officially lauded as an economic and cultural success. However, there were considerable hardships endured at Bonegilla, particularly during times of economic and political insecurity. Enforced family separation, poor standards of care, child malnutrition and organised migrant protest also need to be recognised as part of the Bonegilla story and as part of postwar immigration."--Back cover |
