Summary
Notice titled 'Today's Events' used on the P&O Line Ship SS Stratheden, on 8 September 1963. It was collected by James Mason when he migrated to Australia with his wife and two children as 'ten pound tourists' in 1963. They recall the trip as enjoyable, the food good but the Red Sea rough and the portholes had to be closed. On arrival in Australia they stayed with James' brother-in-law and then purchased land in Altona almost immediately, where they have lived ever since.
