In 1955 I boarded the ship ORONSAY and left behind family and loved ones from the Macedonian village Neret (Polipotamos), which now lies in the northern part of Greece, to migrate to Australia in pursuit of a better future. Settled initially in Perth and later moved to Manjimup in 1957 where I married Ristana Dimova, had two sons George 1958 and John 1961.
