The MS Skaubryn was a Norwegian passenger liner launched in 1950 and used extensively on the Europe–Australia migrant route. It carried more than a thousand migrants per voyage and was considered well‑equipped for post‑war mass migration. The Skaubryn made multiple voyages from European ports to Australia between 1951 and 1958, carrying migrants from Germany, the Netherlands, Malta, and elsewhere. It also made occasional voyages to Canada and troop transport charters. The Skaubryn is best remembered for its catastrophic fire in the Indian Ocean on 31 March 1958. 5476.01 - Skaubryn Migrant Ship Photograph.jpg 5476.02 - Migrant Ship C1950's Photograph.jpg 5476.03 - Migrant Ship C1950's Photograph.jpg skaubryn migrant ship, migrants, immigration

A publication of 186 pages featuring black and white photographs and an anthology of poetry.This book is an anthology of poetry written by over 80 migrants who settled in the North East of Victoria. It is a moving evocation of the migrant experience. Many of these migrants had been housed at the Bonegilla Migrant Reception and Training Centre near Wodonga which began receiving migrants in 1947, Bonegilla became the largest and longest operating reception centre in the post-war era. More than 300,000 migrants passed through its doors between 1947 and 1971. Most of these migrants came from non-English speaking European families escaping their war-torn homelands. Their world had been turned upside down. Many were confused, unsure of where they were going or what the future held for them. These poems reflect their experiences in adjusting to their new country and environment.immigrants' writings, immigrants in north east victoria, immigrants -- poetry, bonegilla migrant reception centre

A Nissen hut is a prefabricated, semi‑cylindrical structure made from corrugated steel sheeting over a lightweight steel-and-timber frame. It was invented in 1916 by Major Peter Norman Nissen of the British Army during WWI. The Maribyrnong Migrant Hoste, located around Williamson Road and Hampstead Road, used large numbers of ex‑WWII Nissen/Quonset huts as its earliest accommodation. These huts defined the look and feel of the hostel in the 1950s and early 1960s. These huts were used before the construction of the later Midway Hostel (1969) and Phillip Hostel (1971).5368.01 - Maribyrnong Migrant Hostel Nissen Huts Photograph.jpg 5368.02 - Maribyrnong Migrant Hostel Nissen Huts Photograph.jpgmigrant hostel, williamson road, maribyrnong, phillip hostel, midway hostel
