7:12Now PlayingFor some newly-arrived English immigrants, Australia is many things – too hot, too expensive, too “outdoors” – but not the utopia they’d hoped for.
And the Australian press has had some scathing words for these “whinging poms”, who seem unlikely to make a go of it.
So Trevor Philpott dons his Factor 50 and heads out to ask the fresh arrivals about the pros and cons of this new life in a new land, and whether they might stay.
Excerpt taken from Tonight, originally broadcast on BBC One, Friday 5 March, 1965.
