Memories of My Childhood A4

Irena takes you on a candid journey through the innocence of childhood whilst growing up as the daughter of WWII refugee migrants living in Mt Druitt, a sleepy working class rural hamlet 43 kilometres west of Sydney.

Set predominantly in the 1950s she shares the delights and adventures of her day-to-day life as well as sharing some intimate experiences of time spent at Dalwood Home, a Sydney Government-run orphanage as well as Haddon Hall, a small Presbyterian children’s home in the Blue Mountains.

Portrayed through the eyes of a child her story offers a unique and personal insight of living in the outer suburbs of Sydney.
