the British people who responded to newspaper adverts in the 1950s inviting them to move to Australia to build a new life, all for the princely sum of £10. In the real world, about 1 million people signed up for the scheme.
What they find is very much not the picture-perfect white-picket-fence Australia the brochure said would greet them. After an unfriendly experience at immigration, where we are shown the strict “whites only” rules and how these were brutally enforced, they are shipped to their new home. This turns out to be a hostel that resembles a “prisoner of war camp”.
The Australians are no-nonsense semi-sadists, sick to death of the whining british who seem surprised that they will be living in tin shacks rather than cosy suburban bungalows.
