Publisher's Synopsis
Taming the Wide Brown Land by Frank M Kelly is a factual, interesting and detailed story of the life of the ten pound migrants, who moved to Australia from all over Europe after World War Two, as part of the post-war mass immigration policy, set up by the Australian government. Men, women and families of all nationalities arrived in Australia, more often than not with no homes and no jobs to go to. However, what they did have was the promise of a better life in the new country of Australia, with fantastic weather and amazing opportunity. This is a great read for anyone interested in modern history and the story and experiences of immigrants in Australia.
