Many early Greek Australians had passed through immigration centres like Bonegilla which was situated around 300 kilometres north-east of Melbourne.
Bonegilla was originally an army training camp but in 1947 the Australian Government turned it into a Reception and Processing Centre run by the Department of Immigration.
Albury Wodonga is receiving a cultural tourism boost, with works advancing on the Bonegilla Migrant Experience to allow more visitors to connect with Australia’s fascinating migrant history.
Minister for Regional Development Mary-Anne Thomas visited the Bonegilla Migrant Reception and Training Centre to see redevelopment works at this nationally-significant destination, which has received a grant of $800,000 through the Regional Tourism Investment Fund – Stimulus Round.
