My twenty square inches of fame

The Memorial Arc at the old Bonegilla Migrant Centre

 

I may get my OBE (Over Bloody Eighty) in a couple of years' time but no-one is going to put up a monument for me, so I might as well buy one myself - and I did, some three yars ago, at the Bonegilla Migrant Centre near Albury/Wodonga where I spent my first two cold nights in August 1965 in this wonderful country.

 

 

No need for you to get jealous though: you already drew the winning ticket in the lottery of life when you were born in this lucky country.
