The Ten Pound Pom - John Brown - A Compact Biography
Australia in the 1960s promoted itself as the "land of opportunity" with abundant job opportunities, a better climate, and a higher standard of living. The Australian government aimed primarily, to attract skilled workers, particularly in engineering, construction, and healthcare sectors, to support its rapidly growing economy.
John's account of what it was like to go through the process as teenager, is told with humour, clarity and pathos..
He opens the door on a world that has long passed, yet in so many ways, is more relevant today than ever.
A great pick up read, you get a true feeling of what it was actually like to be a £10 Pom.
The book includes images from this period, making the whole reading experience even more enjoyable.
