What's new at Bonegilla?

Question: What has been happening at Block 19, Bonegilla?

Answer: Between 1947 and 1971, more than 300,000 migrants from over 50 countries called Bonegilla their first Australian home. Some stayed only a few days, and others months; some relished the experience, and others questioned their decision to come to Australia. These memories have been commemorated with the heritage listing of Bonegilla’s Block 19, its Tribute Wall and visitor centre.  September 2010 saw the re-launch of the site after extensive works completed by the City of Wodonga, Parklands Albury Wodonga and Albury City to preserve, promote and support the Bonegilla Migrant Experience.  It is a place that for many has an important role in their beginning in Australia, and for others, it is a place that has contributed greatly to the culturally diverse Australia we see today.
