Bonegilla, VIC, Australia

My uncle stayed in Bonegilla.

Bonegilla was the largest and longest operating migrant camp of the post-​​war era, with over 300,000 migrants from more than 50 different countries passing through here. There are an estimated 1.5 million descendants of migrants who spent time at Bonegilla currently living in Australia. I read the visitors book while I was there, and it was signed either by people who spent time in Bonegilla as a migrant, or people whose parents and grandparents spent time there. Block 19 survives as rare example of the post-​​war migrant experience.

It was included in the Australian National Heritage List on 7 December 2007.
