Welcome ! I’m another newbie so glad I’m not the only new girl in the class ! We had an ancestor who was transported to Australia ( for sheep stealing - so it was a good choice of destination ? ) at least your family arrived voluntarily and have thrived !

Hi to you Platypus, lovely to see you here.

I have two lots of aunts and uncles who were '£10 Poms* and they all still live in Australia. All in their late 70's and 80's now. xx

Good afternoon Platypus. I was a ten pound Pom but in South Africa rather than Oz. We only stayed 2 years until my mum got home sick. Wish we would have gone to Oz she may have stuck around.

G'Day yourself Platypus. I loved Australia when I visited a couple of times and always enjoy TV programmes set there. Currently watching 'Offspring'. I think it's set in Melbourne. I liked Melbourne but unexpectedly just fell in love with Sydney.

Hi from about 50 miles south of Sydney, Australia. I’m the child of a Ten Pound Pom, who really should have jumped back on the boat to the motherland, so I was brought up British amongst the colonials. That hasn’t always worked out so well - I’m a bit of an in-betweener - don’t really belong here but don’t really belong there.
I’ve been lurking around Gransnet a while, too scared to say boo but today, summed up the courage.
I love reading everything on here and love everyone’s varied opinions - you do make me giggle sometimes.
Anyway hiya or g’day or probably a bit of both !
