Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go. .........T. S.

Über den Autor


Corry de Haas (deceased) was born in The Netherlands on 24 June 1928. After marrying Pierre, who she first met as a pen friend while he was on active service in the Dutch East Indies, Corry was confronted with the biggest and most challenging decision of her life. Pierre wanted to emigrate to Australia with his family, which by then also included five young children. A most reluctant immigrant, Corry fell in love with Australia within a few months after their arrival in Queensland. Much later, Corry became a prolific author and poet, recognised and awarded for some of her works, including by Australian bush poets. Relying on her letters to her family, newspaper articles she wrote and her own journals, she wrote a detailed account of her migration odyssey which has been summarised and edited to produce this book.
