Catherine Cole's Slipstream is a beautifully-woven memoir that captures the essence of growing up as the child of 'Ten Pound Poms' in Australia. In Slipstream, she explores the humourous and poignant mix of these two worlds.The book delves into the experiences of the British who migrated to Australia under the 'Ten Pound Pom' scheme and have since been referred to as 'Australia's forgotten migrants'. Born to migrant parents who left their close-knit Yorkshire community to start afresh in Australia, Catherine's childhood was filled with the contrasting worlds of a small mining village in northern England and the Australian heat, beaches and cicadas.
Catherine examines the appeal of the scheme, and documents the journey of these migrants as they left their homes, were sponsored, settled and built new lives in a very different terrain.Slipstream
