British Migrants to Australia on board ship - 1920s
In the 1920s, the Australia Government was keen to develop regional areas. Prime Minister Stanley Bruce considered there were three things necessary for this: labour, money and markets and for these Australia depended on Britain. British migrants were encouraged to settle in Australia. The Australian Government paid most of their fare and, like the soldiers before them (who had arrived after WW1), some were assisted to establish farms, with often limited success. Date: circa 1920s
