My family is on a US version of this at Ellis Island. This made me just bawl and bawl -- it has quotes from immigrants throughout the history of Australia on it too, and it hit me weirdly and hard.

man, what an amazing experience.

that little statue of the cat and the words written about him are so sweet -- would that every cat had such a loving owner.

Huzzah! Trim the Sailor Cat!

He's cute on the trip because he eats his catnip, he's Trim the Sailor Cat. Meow-meow.

my friend jen's dad was researching the First Fleet for a while, and he found a very old copy of the memoirs which inspired the play "Our country's good". I think about that play a lot when anyone mentions Australia, and your photo of the wall with the history on it made me think of the thousands of transported men and women who went to australia of someone else's will than their own.
