Bonegilla, VIC

"Bonegilla – The Migrant's Journey" is a compelling multimedia performance that intertwines documentary film, live music, and exhibitions to illuminate the experiences of post-war migrants at the Bonegilla Migrant Reception and Training Centre near Albury-Wodonga. Between 1947 and 1971, over 300,000 displaced individuals from diverse European nations passed through Bonegilla, seeking a new life in Australia. The show features intimate interviews with more than 20 former migrants, accompanied by evocative storytelling, archival footage, and a live musical score composed and performed by Simon Reich. This immersive experience offers a profound insight into the resilience and humanity of those who shaped modern multicultural Australia.
