Hello there I was on that ship also I was 3 my brother was 9 and sister was 10 I have no knowledge only what my mum has told me will be interesting to find out more
I came upon this site by accident as I am doing some research for a book. What a find! I too came out on assisted passage with my parents' date=' brother & sister in 1969 (I was 9) on the Fairsky. I remember lots of things, from the treacherous Bay of Biscay (the ship apparently had no stabilisers), to the crossing the line ceremony (I was in it and drank salt water!). Breaking down and floating across the equator, struggling in to Capetown. Then departing and having to make another stop in South Africa at Durban cause the engines still weren't right. But I loved every minute of it, I remember visiting Las Palmas and South Africa but I can't remember anywhere else. I am looking for the itinerary if anyone has it.
When we docked in Melbourne we stayed at Preston in the hostel.
I now live on the sunny Gold Coast and would to hear from other passengers. :D[/quote']
