We arrived in Melbourne in April 1960. 

After a few weeks in the migration camp Bonegilla Hartmut found a job in Melbourne at the Government Tourist Bureau. That was the best offer with his 4 year university geography studies. Lucky he could speak English very well. I could not. So outdoor machinist was ok for me. We found a place to rent above a closed-down shop in North Brighton. We worked hard and saved every penny. Soon we could buy a car. We were very happy and proud about that.
