A fabulous place to visit. I grew up in a local town and now live close to Bonegilla (we locals pronounce it as Bone (same as eg. bone in your leg) - e (as for egg) gill (same as a fish gill) -a (pronounced u), Growing up in the 50’s and 60’s we knew a lot of people who spent time there and then moved to local towns. The children went to our schools and we never had racial discrimination issues. Many of them became close friends. I remember as a child going to the camp when I was young and visiting some of the people my parents became friends with. I would listen to their stories of what it was like living in Europe during the war. Even though I was a child I found it heartbreaking listening to some of their stories. Our region was blessed to have these wonderful, resilient people living and working in our community. ❤️🌺
Definatly a great experience.
