Unanderra Hostel Memories
Hi
The reason I decided to create this site was because back in the late 1960’s and having just arrived in Australia. Our family like many families before us temporarily stayed at Unanderra Hostel whilst in the process of resettling, for many it was a quite an experience. Some families stayed for only a few months and others stayed the entire permitted time, which was about two years before having to move on.
I thought that, perhaps others who once stayed at the Hostel maybe interested in such a site, somewhere were they could view and share old photos from those long lost days.

My appreciation goes to the 97.3 ABC Illawarra for showing interest in a local story.
             The feedback from the interview has been fantastic. 24-feb-2004

If you have any old photo of your stay at Unanderra Hostel then share them with us, doesn’t matter how many you have or what condition they are in. I can soon clean/brighten them up. Don’t let them rot in some old biscuit tin and never to be seen again, scan them and send them here. With your help, we could build this site up to one of interest.
