The Immigration Discovery Centre does parties. Today, for example, a family group came through as part of the birthday celebrations of one of its members who was born in Australia just months after her family's arrival from India in 1948. We found evidence of this event via the website of the National Archives of Australia, along with some pictures of the vessel Asturias on which they had travelled. It was nice to hear the family talking across its generations. For a while they dispersed throughout the IDC, looking for data about themselves and other people, before regrouping for a tour of the museum.
