Orange Ribbon – 5th August, 2009

Society & Culture

On this week’s program we have a JOY program presenter who comes from a non-traditional Australian background. Anita was born and raised in north-eastern England. Anita and her family moved to Australia by ship in the 1950’s (the last vessel to pass through the Suez Canal before it was closed due to political issues at the time), and except for her mother’s persistence, nearly ended up in Sydney instead of Melbourne. We hear about the family’s struggles in those early days in a migrant hostel at Nunawading, family health issues, and later finding her life partner at her workplace when she was already engaged to be married.
