Description: This is footage from a voiceovered newsreel from 1948 about a group of child migrants from the United Kingdom to Australia, sponsored by the Big Brother Movement. It shows a ship that had 580 ‘new settlers’ on board, and states that 250 of them were under 12 years old. It mentions that some of the young people would be undergoing a period of training at the Big Brother Movement’s farm school in Liverpool (Karmsley Hills).
