Dick Bentley gave several lectures at Dr. Barnardo Homes on what the children might expect should they emigrate to Australia. Early last year an opportunity occurred for him to revisit his home-land. While he was there he interviewed many Barnardo boys and girls: newcomers and older children who had made their way in Australia.
In this programme you can hear the recordings he made.
Recorded broadcast of Dee. 30, 1960
