Ten-Pound Poms: Tell us your story
British line P&O Cruises is celebrating the 175th year of its heritage by calling on Britons who migrated Down Under on one of its ships to tell their favourite stories about their journey to Australia.
The cruise line is searching for the so-called Ten Pound Poms, who travelled here as part of the post-World War II assisted migration programme, with a group of 175 winners and friends set to celebrate at a lunch onboard P&O Cruises Oriana when she visits Sydney on February 23.
To enter, Ten Pound Poms should send P&O Cruises their favourite memories of their migration to Australia – in 175 words or less.
Entries can be submitted at www.pocruises.com.au/tenpoundpoms until January 27, 2012.
P&O Cruises managing director, Carol Marlow, said it was fitting the cruise line would celebrate its 175th anniversary in Australia onboard Oriana given the original Oriana sailed between the United Kingdom and Australia for more than 25 years including 241 visits to Sydney Harbour.
“After World War II, more than one million Britons sailed to Australia as part of the largest planned mass migration in history and most of these came on P&O ships,†she said.
