With no one putting up a plaque for me, I might as well do it myself on the Arc Memorial Sculpture at the former Bonegilla Migrant Centre where I had spent the first two nights in my new home Australia - see here.
Two hundred and fifteen dollars seem a small enough price to achieve 'immortality', and perhaps with a bit of luck someone will see the plaque, remember me and send me an email before I go where no email will reach me.
And here are some more old photos of the immigration centre as I saw it in August 1965:

P.S. Hadn't hard from the good people at "Bonegilla Migrant Experience" for some weeks, so I 'phoned to see how my application was progressing (which it wasn't!) and also to ensure they won't forget the diaeresis above the umlaut - as in "Görmann". For a moment they thought I was talking about having had too much of last night's curry :-)
