Ten Pound Pom

This book recounts the adventures and observations of a British migrant, who in 1964, travelled to Australia with his family. In some ways, it is an adventure story, in others a biography of the Parker family.

It begins in a mostly farming community in North Yorkshire and ends with the Royal Australian Navy and includes insights into ways of life in North Yorkshire, a Migrant Hostel, the Woomera Rocket Range in South Australia, University in NSW and the Royal Australian Naval College.

It is dedicated to the many migrants who sought a new life in Australia and made it.
