Next Episode: Old Gawler Migrant Camp by Jeff Turner
Migrant families who arrived in Gawler in the 1940s-1960s bought their children who had to be educated. Many of the children could not speak English. Student numbers swelled in local classrooms and new friendships were forged.
Join us for Episode 2 of Our Town, as Jeff Turner describes what life was like for the new children at school. The research for this episode comes from work Jeff Turner and Anne Richards undertook for their book "This'll do".
