Just over 47 years ago another family set off from Tilbury docks in Southern England to go to the Antipodes, they were travelling on one of the great white liners that belonged to the P&O line. The ship was the SS Oronsay and the voyage was to last 6 weeks. Saying goodbye to family was a heart wrenching event, I remember my grandmother saying that she might never see us again. Others in the family farewelling us as if we were going to Mars.
My father commenting that we were leaving on Friday the 13th and maybe we would not make it down the Thames!!
So the adventure began.
