Bonegilla was a point of reception and temporary accommodation for
approximately 320,000 post-war refugees and assisted migrants to
Australia from 1947 to 1971. Its function was integral to the
post-war immigration scheme, something officially lauded as an
economic and cultural success. However, there were considerable
hardships endured at Bonegilla, particularly during times of
economic and political insecurity. Enforced family separation, poor
standards of care, child malnutrition, and organised migrant
protest need to be recognised as part of the Bonegilla story.
Histories of Controversy: The Bonegilla Migrant Centre gives this
alternative picture, revealing the centre's history to be one of
containment, control, deprivation and political discontent. It
tells a more complex tale than a harmonious making of modern
Australia to include stories of migrant resistance and their
demands on a society and its systems.
