Eva Warhust
Being the sixth of a family that would grow to 18 children, Eva Warhust, (Née Reid) aged 10, agreed to be sent to Australia as part of the British child migration schemes operating in 1950 along with her one sister and three brothers. This was due to the financial burden of their large family, hoping that through sending them off, the family's burden would ease. The Children departed from Southampton, UK on the 31st of March, 1950. They arrived in Sydney on the 19th of May, then were placed on a train to Molong, 300 KMs West of Sydney, arriving the following day at Fairbridge Farm School.
