non-fictionIntroductory Abstract - "On its instigation in 1973, the Albury-Wodonga Growth Centre experiment was hailed as a novel and imaginative project. It was a "pilot scheme" that was expected to influence the urban settlement pattern in Australia. It was a "bold venture", a "brave attempt" to solve a longstanding problem. It involved three governments embarking on an "exciting adventure". This short book length catalogue essay (51 pages) provides an illustrated guide to the social history and visual arts exhibitions mounted for the 40th anniversary in 2013 of the inauguration of the Albury-Wodonga National Growth Centre experiment. The essay served as rationale and support for two council exhibitions at the Albury Library Museum and the Arts Space Wodonga in October and November 2013. The background story and the exhibitions are about place-making. They ask about the kind of place that has been made at Albury-Wodonga. How was it imagined, promoted, grown? They examine the experiment of developing Albury and Wodonga jointly and rapidly, and ask how that experiment relates to the place now and in the future. It assesses and gives a broad contextual account of the National Growth Centre experiment at Albury-Wodonga and traces important aspects of the story with emphasis on a local point of view.

They were privately sponsored by Greeks already resident in Australia From 1953 to mid-1956 there was a large influx of Greek migrants: about half of the 33,639 to arrive were assisted by the ICEM and Australian Government and almost all were processed at the Bonegilla Reception and Training Centre. Bonegilla was the official employment office through which about 15 000 assisted Greek migrants were processed between 1953 and 1956. It was from Bonegilla that many Greeks started work and life journeys within Australia. This publication deals with their experiences.bonegilla migrants, bonegilla migrant reception centre

A small booklet of 20 pages with illustrations outlining the early role played by Albury, New South Wales in the development of Federation.This booklet begins “In 1908 the Albury Banner reminded its readers that, ' ... for half acentury Albury has, rightly or wrongly, and without any particular solicitation on the part of residents, been known - and generally known – as the Federal City' ' That reminder was necessary because Albury was about to be robbed of its destiny by the rivalry between Sydney and Melbourne.” Albury had long been promoted as a future Federal City by Sir Henry Parkes in 1856 and Sir Hercules Robinson in 1876. Henry Parkes said “if ever a Federal Government was called into existence, Albury was the very place where the sitting of the Government would be most likely held. This publication explains the pathway to the selection of Australia’s Federal Capital and the end of the dream for Albury to fill this role.australian federation, albury new south wales
