My husband daughter and I sailed on the Ellinis in March 1972 as 10pound poms and settled 80kms from Sydney. I've often wondered about the passengers we met on board and did they settle etc
Sue Bugler [Levy] Posted on 15 Feb 2012 11:29 AM
I also was a ten pound Pom, sailing to Australia in 1970. There were four of us in the cabin and in 2010, three of us had a reunion in Sydney - on the Harbour. The fourth cabin member lives in Canada and we hope to catch up when she comes out in the next couple of years.

Anne Mason Posted on 07 Apr 2012 11:04 AM
My husband, baby daughter and I sailed from Southampton to Sydney in 1971. I will never forget the voyage. After leaving Capetown we hit the most dreadful storm and rough seas. It was really exciting but many people were sea sick and no one was allowed on the decks for nearly a week. I loved the voyage and met many lovely people all with different reasons for being on the ship. A Very interesting and great time in my life.
Rob Priest Posted on 14 Apr 2012 6:43 PM
Family sailed to Oz November 1973 via Cape Town. Mum and Dad now passed away but Brother and I still here in Far North Queensland. fond memories of our voyage on the Ellinis and still have daily news letters and menus that Mum kept.

I was 3 years old in 1971 when I sailed on the Ellinis, emigrating with my parents, brother and sister from Southampton to Australia.
Lorraine Wynne Posted on 08 Jun 2012 12:38 AM
My parents, sister and myself sailed on the Ellinis in1971 and can relate to Anne Masons story of the frightening storm after leaving Capetown,when we arrived at Fremantle a large part of the hull was damaged and migrants lost luggage etc, i will never forget one stormy night at dinner when we had to hold onto a bar under the dining table to stop from sliding away on our chairs! One passenger was very unlucky and he flew off in his chair across the chair across th dining hall when the rudders were shaking violently and his lung was punctured ..Before the storm it was a very beautifull journey and i still have the sepia paper book i wrote about the voyage age 13.

I sailed to Australia on the Ellinis July 31st 1965 under the "Big Brother Movement" back in the UK now but often wondered what became of the others in the party.

I travelled on the Ellinis as a young 23 year old from Piraeus to Melbourne arriving on 28 aug 1964,I have lived in Melbourne for 48 years .I remember the journey from Western Australia to Melbourne being very rough , I was in the ship for 20 days
Faye Inskip Posted on 16 Oct 2012 12:46 PM
Hi Andrew, I also sailed on Ellinis in 1974. I did the Circle the Pacific voyage which departed from Sydney on Feb 4th. My many photos of the cruise have faded somewhat over the years but not so my happy memories.
Louise Morris Posted on 16 Oct 2012 8:12 PM
I sailed to Australia at the age of 9 aboard the Ellinis. We first docked at Fremantle in March 1973. One of my strongest memories is of having to eat in a separate dining room from my parents & the dreadful food. Every child on the ship had food poisoning my own bout occurred during the night before we disembarked in Sydney. I was so ill & weak that my Dad had to carry me off the ship so my memories of arriving in our new country is mainly of the view of the ceiling of the customs hall. Does anyone else remember that voyage?
roger males Posted on 20 Oct 2012 12:14 AM

Anthony lee Posted on 14 Dec 2012 3:59 PM
Hi roger males...I too was on that voyage, settled in perth. Got vey seasick after leaving uk. Better by las palmas though..I was 13 at the time. Great memories
Jane Pugh Posted on 26 Jan 2013 9:36 AM
Left Southampton Dec 2 1965 and arrived Jan 1 1966 aboard the Ellinis. I remembered being separated from my parents at eating times. We were lucky, our cabin was above water level, a positive especially when going through rough seas like the Great Australian Bight...very rough. I remember being the last ship down the Suez Canal before it was closed and seeing the British troops in Aden.
Karen Hamilton Posted on 12 Feb 2013 9:37 PM
Sailed from Australia to Southampton on this lovely ship in about 1973 my Dad told me it was supposed to be her last voyage but I see above that she was actually scrapped in 1986. It's sad that we don't make these sort of voyages now - planes are quick, but not nearly so nice.
Linda Mardle Posted on 18 Feb 2013 7:10 PM
I was 12 when My family left Southampton in December '72 arriving to settle in New-Zealand end of January '73. Have lots of lovely memories of the Ellinis and still have postcards and boarding passes.

John Cheney Posted on 19 Mar 2013 1:24 PM
November 1971 - December 1971 Southampton to Melbourne, 4 weeks of great fun for me as a 10 year old but my 13 year old brother had a much worse time of it being in hospital with asthma for most of the Cape Town to Fremantle leg.
Richard Martin Posted on 23 Mar 2013 6:18 PM
November 1971 - December 1971: I was a full-fare paying passenger. I sailed from Rotterdam via Bremerhaven, Southampton, Las Palmas, Capetown, Fremantle, Adelaide, Melbourne to Sydney. I had a Lanai Cabin on the Main Deck and the bathroom was equipped with a proper bath. Good weather was experienced throughout the voyage. I recall that late afternoon, every day, the ship's garbage was dumped from the stern. Overall it was agood experience and a grat way to travel
Zenon Zolek Posted on 04 Apr 2013 7:38 PM
My family left Southampton Oct 1972 bound for Australia, via Las Palmas and Capetown. What a great trip, my mum and dad thought this would be our last vacation for a while as it would be hard work setting up in OZ, so we had a great time, until we left Cape Town, the seas we so rough all the way to Fremantle, but a great adventure
Joy Coey Posted on 07 Apr 2013 6:39 PM
My family sailed from Southampton on 6/1/71 arriving 6/2/71 in Sydney then took the 'overnight express' train (a rattler) to Brisbane arriving 7/2/71. I was only 10 but from what I remember it was a fabulous trip.
Wilma Schrotenboer - Hoekman Posted on 09 Apr 2013 9:46 PM
We, my father, mother and 5 children, left Sydney in, I think, late May 1964 to return 6 weeks later to Rotterdam. My parents and eldest brother had left Holland in December 1955 for Sydney.
Karen Bungard Posted on 14 Apr 2013 11:18 AM
My family and I travelled on this ship from Sydney to Southampton in 1968 through the Panama Canal I was 7 years old and remember the trip well, the listing, the whale and my brother falling into the water at Fiji looking at the tropical fish. We spent christmas and new year onboard
David Beswick Posted on 22 Apr 2013 2:45 AM
Self,wife and two children sailed as fare paying passengers on Ellinis in September 1965 from Auckland to Southampton via Tahiti,Panama and Curacao.Lovely voyage with good weather all the way. Still have the passenger list and a few menus and many photographs. Happy days indeed.
Robert Evans Posted on 07 Jun 2013 1:45 PM
Our family sailed March 1973 from Southampton to Sydney. My brother was quite sick and lost a lot of weight, we struggled with the food and eating separately from our parents. I remember our ship coming to the aid of an injured sailor on another boat. The trip was quite an adventure for a 11 year old.
Warren Maxwell Posted on 21 Jun 2013 1:57 AM
My mother and I saied from Wellington to Southampton via Tahiti, Pamama, Curaçao, and Cherborg to Southampton on the Elinis in 1968. I was 14 years old. Became British Ice Dance Champion and Olympian and World silver medallist. I now live on Dallas, Texas. The voyage was one of wonder for me... Loved the shipboard life, and was amazed at foreign countries, (NZ) not very sophisticated in those days. Met some really cool people ... Mostly Poms who had emigrated to Australia but decided to return home. Got hideously sunburned day 2-3, sunstroke. I remember loving the food the first week as I had never had any kind of continental meals, (meat and two veg at our NZ home) but quickly became disenchanted as they kept bringing the same fare out day-after-day for 35 days. Geat memories ... The real start of my life occurred on that tub.
Chris Weller Posted on 27 Jun 2013 8:36 PM
My wife Irena and I sailed on Ellinis from Southampton to Sydney as newly wed migrants March 1973. I remember the trip very well I was told drink plenty of grog and you wont get seasick (doesn't work). I too remember the injured sailor bad burns I believe, we hit a whale in the Indian Ocean and got thrown out of bed, the ship was damaged and the baggage room and forward hold was partially flooded. It was a very interesting trip. The food, well by today's standard was not all that good looked much the same after about a week but at the price of the trip you can't complain. Had a few really good parties below decks with some of the crew and met a lot of good people. Wonder where they are now, wonder how many actually stayed.
Shaun Needham Posted on 01 Jul 2013 9:50 AM
I came out with my family on the Ellinis arriving in March of 1973 at the age of 11 -- I must admit I cannot remember much of the journey out here we departed the ship in Sydney and was housed at Fairy Meadows before moving to Warners Bay and I haved lived in the area ever since. Have always wondered if any others had moved up this way
John Faux Posted on 05 Jul 2013 2:27 AM
I too was on the Southbound Voyage from Southampton to Sydney. We left around Feb 27 1973, I was 22 years old. I do remember she ship having to turn around to pick up an injured worker on another ship-- but not hitting the whale??!! The crossing of the Bay of Biscayne was awful--i was sea sick for 2 or 3 days! I now live in Central Mexico..via the USA. Wanderlust i guess :)
Barry Smith Posted on 17 Jul 2013 9:32 PM
We left Southampton on the Ellenis for Sydney on the 14th May 1970 arriving on my 21st brthday 14th June, the trip was wonderful but rough across the Indian Ocean. I remember many evening after dinner sat on the stern lower open deck one minute looking up at towering walls of water and the next looking down at the water. We went to the Endeavour Hostel in Coodge and stayed for around three and a half years, returning was a mistake but I never look back and now live in Spain, I am going back to Australia for a holiday in November for 2 months, the third trip in 7 years....for me the country is paradise on earth.
Jane Sutherland Posted on 21 Jul 2013 3:12 PM
I sailed on the SS Ellinis in mid-July, 1970. We left Southampton for NYC. I was going home after being a nanny in Belgium for a year. It was a wonderful and very memorable experience since I found God on that trip! My cabin-mate and friend shared their spiritual truth with me that trip...43 years ago tonight. Hope they are well!
Katy Posted on 09 Aug 2013 3:18 PM
I am really excited to find these maps as I, too, spent time on the Ellinis. I was 4 years old in 1964 when my parents, siblings and I migrated from England as 10 pound Poms. This was the best money my parents ever spent, and we have all enjoyed nearly 50 years of life in Australia.
Roger Perkins Posted on 15 Aug 2013 6:22 PM
We sailed to New Zealand on the Ellinis in 1967 and again in 1970 and have photos of that trip if anyone is interested. We sailed back to the UK in early 1968 on the Australis hitting a hurricane force storm in the North Atlantic.
Paul Robinson Posted on 12 Sep 2013 11:13 PM
Sailed on Ellinis 4/1/68 Southampton to Sydney. Ten pound poms. Parents and three brothers. I was only 11 years old but have very clear and very happy memories of voyage. Really good to see postings from others who experienced the voyage.

I sailed on the Ellinis October 21st 1973 from Southampton to Sydney, emmigrating to Australia. It was a great voyage, rough across the Indian Ocean, making the dining room empty most days - no-one to talk to! What an adventure it was, seeing all those countries.
Angela Hunt Posted on 16 Oct 2013 11:27 AM
Arrived in Sydney November 25th and sailed into the harbor just as the sun was going down – what a beautiful site!
Gerard Rodrigues Posted on 27 Oct 2013 12:00 AM
I had my 12th birthday on board Ellinis 17 March 1970 arriving with my brother and parents in Melbourne 9 April and lived happily in Melbourne ever since. Have always wondered where all the other people on this voyage are now and whether there are any photos. Sadly we have none.
Nick Leaning Posted on 23 Nov 2013 10:36 AM
Angela Hunt my family were on that same trip arriving in Fremantle Nov 1973. I remember the rough passage across the Indian Ocean - furniture that wasn't tied down sliding across the rooms.
Gerard Rodrigues I also had my 12th birthday on board Ellinis (Nov 1973) - the captain arranged a birthday cake decorated like a soccer pitch. :-D
Great memories.

I was 13 when my family sailed on the Ellinis on the 14th April 1966, I hated the Bay of Biskey I was very sick and it took many years to go on another ship. I loved the ship and being on a ship for a month was great
Ian Laughlin-Young Posted on 14 Dec 2013 5:12 PM
Along with my wife Sue of 12 months we departed Sydney on Ellinis 15 Dec 1971 for a six month working holiday in UK. We lived at East Finchley for 12 months before moving to Bromley in Kent until our departure on the Australis 20 Nov 1973. It became a long six months. Sue worked at Canberra House and I worked firstly at K Shoes Oxford Street before being employed by Clarkson Holidays at Moorgate. What a wonderful experience - one we have never forgotten. The voyage in both directions I enjoyed - not so much Sue who was and still is subject to seasickness although we continue to sail the seven seas having been on many voyages and cruises since. What wonderful people we have met on our voyages and still keep in contact with a family we met on Australis how very unlikely to happen through air travel.

We sailed from Southampton on the Ellinis on March 28th 1965 --bound for Melbourne and having been married two days earlier in Colchester , Essex and often wondered about others we met on board . Amongst the very few non-migrants on board , we had the luxury of one of the few suites on board and eventually migrated to the Central Coast of NSW in 1979 --where we still are . Many , many happy memories and would love to hear from any fellow travellers ( especially a dentist from Lincolnshire ) . Now retired we have taken up cruising once more but the Ellinis will always be held close to our hearts .
Hugh Nettleton Posted on 30 Jan 2014 8:58 PM
My wife, myself and two young daughters sailed from a very cold Southampton on the 14th April 1966. Late snow had caused the boat train from Victoria to be delayed so our departure was also delayed. Wonderful trip out, the chef could turn out some great steaks, but that was about the end of his repertoire. First ship allowed to let passengers ashore in Aden after rioting and got the last boat back to the ship. Arrived in Auckland 18th May after a great trip out - loved the whole voyage.
Dinah Kyd Posted on 05 Feb 2014 11:22 PM
I sailed on the Ellinis leaving Southampton in February 1966 and arriving into Fremantle in March. I was 8 years old at the time. My mother had already flown to Australia previously and sent me by ship with a lady she had met that was making the journey to see her parents in Perth. My memories were not good, I was very ill and from memory the food was dreadful. It was a rough crossing and the ship veered off course many miles.
I have lived in South Australia ever since, married with 3 grown up girls. Would love to hear from any travellers who may have crossed at the same time.

Is there anyone who sailed on the Ellinis, departing Rotterdam just before Christmas 1972 ? Wonderful trip:great food,glorious singing, memorable entertainment. Very hard to say goodbye to all the friends made on this long journey to the great unknown.
Andrew Parker Posted on 25 Feb 2014 2:57 PM
I came out on the Ellenis in 1972 or 1973 - I'm not sure. I had just got married and we had a wonderful time oin that old, battered ship. The food and company were great and I once won "brain of the ship" and received a zippo lighter which smoked as much as the funnels! A couple of days before we arrived in Sydney, the we received the news that the Greek Junta had been overthrown and the monarchy was back. Boy, did we all celebrate! Greay days but all of the old girls of thre Chandris fleet are long gone. May their souls rest in peace because they made a lot of people happy and safe.
Dennis jones Posted on 01 Mar 2014 6:26 PM
I went to Southampton in 1969 and had Xmas and new year on board.
I shared a four berth cabin with three other guysOne was a chap called Ben barrs but I. Can't think to the other two
The trip was great but we did run into some bad weather after Bermuda and we're not allowed out on deck as the waves cashed along the promenade deck. But web got to Southampton safely
I am still working at 67 but am looking forward to retiring t the end of the year
Love to catch up with anyone who was on the same trip

we sailed on the Elliniss from Southampton to Fremantle WA in Oct 1969 I remember we had to go to school on the boat (I was going on 9) and I remember there was a fancy dress competition. I can still smell the dining room lol we had to eat separate from our parents, anyone else remember?
Kathleen Fisher Posted on 29 Mar 2014 1:25 PM
My daughter is just doing an assignment on Migration so she interviewed me and we started talking about the Ellinis (Jan-Feb 1971)ending out at Springvale Enterprise Hostel. My main memories just like you, Margaret are going to school on the ship (I was 10), learning about Australian coins, and having to go to what I thought of as the babies' dinnertimes. (suspect parents enjoyed some peace with my older siblings). We had one of those massive suites, we had no idea why as we were poor and ten pound poms! Dad's friend who was wealthy was disgusted with his own small cabin when he saw ours! Very interesting memories!
Janette Dillon Posted on 31 Mar 2014 6:10 AM
My parents emigrated to Sydney on the Ellinis - and later returned to the UK on her with my sister and I. Am not sure of dates but have lots of photos! Very clear memories of the fancy dress competition and also crossing the equator - the ceremony with Neptune.
Glynn GREENWOOD Posted on 05 Apr 2014 1:36 PM
Wonderful to read the comments and experiences of others who had sailed on the Ellinis. My parents, brother and sister and I sailed on 5/11/1970 from Southampton to Melbourne as ten pound poms also. We stopped for a day at Las Palmos, Cape Town and Freemantle before disembarking in Melbourne. I was fifteen at the time and have vivid memories of the trip. What a wonderful experience. I recall leaving England early in the morning and standing on the deck with my Dad (sadly now deceased) saying goodbye to England for the last time. I recall also the rough weather on leaving Cape Town and the wonderful experience of arriving in Australia in December. What a great time and a lovely experience - much better than flying!!!

I was a ten pound pom and 11 at the time in Nov 1971, I was with my parents and two sisters. We stayed with the ship until Adelaide, where we lived for 3 years before returning to the UK. Great memories.

Hi Dinah Kyd I was on the same voyage as you and was 9 and settled in Port Augusta and Adelaide. I remember the crossing of the Bay being very rough. I have films of being on the ship and the crossing of the Equator.

My family came out to Australia on the Ellinis, arriving in April 1969. I was massively sea sick in the Bay of Biscay. Apparently, my family would have come years earlier except my father had been to Oz before, serving in the RAAF & couldn't qualify as 10 pond Pom.

I left Southampton in August 1971 arriving Sydney on about the 19th September. I shared a cabin with four other girls, we were all travelling alone. We had a great time. Met lots of people on the trip including my husband. Every weekend there were parties with these people somewhere in Sydney. Have kept in touch with some and have visited each other even though we live in different states now.
Dennis Jones Posted on 12 Nov 2014 8:29 PM
I sailed from Sydney to Southampton in Dec 1969 arriving at Southampton early Jan 1970
Had Xmas and new year on board. Just wondering if anybody else was on the same journey I shared a cabin B150 with a Dutchman called ben Barrs and two other guys which I have forgotten their names.

Edith Morris Posted on 14 Dec 2014 3:19 PM
Sailed from Fremantle in Western Australia to Auckland, New Zealand on the Ellinis in February 1972 with my husband and my 4 year old daughter. We were originally booked in a cabin with a port hole near the waterline, But were double booked and so were moved to an upper deck into a large cabin with 4 beds and lounge chairs and toilet facilities. It was a rough trip but the food was great and I really enjoyed it. We returned to Australia in 1980.
Jill Tilson Posted on 01 Jan 2015 4:34 PM
Sailed from Southampton February 1973 with my late Husband Gerard (Gerry) and Daughter Elaine. Last of the ten pound poms! It was so difficult to manage an 18 month old on this ship as it didn't have a creche!
Lance Aggett Posted on 20 Jan 2015 4:41 PM
Myself and my wife emigrated on the Ellinis leaving Southampton at the end of August 1970 arriving into Sydney around the end of Southampton. Often wondered about the people on that voyage we met up with. Kept in touch with two lads we met. Also ran into the Master at Arms his name was Chris, he was working in Sydney in Real Estate sales for Landcom in Sydney. He sold us our block of land. I remember the soups and the piano player in the restaurant who played everynight Never on a Sunday.
Lesley Drynan ( nee Owen ) Posted on 25 Jan 2015 12:13 PM
Myself, mum & dad (reg & Marj) two brothers and a sister all left Southhampton for Australia Early 1971. Ports were Rotterdam, Canary Islands and Capetown, Freemantle and Adelaide. We ended up in Brisbane. This was our second long trip by sea my first trip was in 1961 abourd the Fairsea, Qld to Southampton. Mum and dad first emigrated to Australia as newly weds in 1952. Got homesick and returned to England, took them 10yrs to get assisted passage back to Aussie. Love cruising to this day.

Nice to read these comments. I travelled on the Ellinis on December 1969 from Melbourne to Bremerhaven returnning to Germany as a 16 year old with my parents. It was quite a stormy turn, but had lots of fun.Returned to Australia in May 1970. Married in 1974 and then returned again to Germany. where I now am living. Dennis Jones, I just read your comment. Could it be that we met on this ship? Were you a plumber or builder at that time. I even think that we had a photo taken together?
Peter O'Malley Posted on 19 Feb 2015 7:41 PM

I remember sailing on the Lurline aka Ellinis from San Francisco to Hawaii in the late 1930s. I have fond memories of that trip and have often wondered what ever happened to that ship.
Wendy Richens Posted on 28 Mar 2015 2:06 PM
Left Southhampton 28th Feb 1973, actually didn't leave port until early hours of 1 March, arrived Fremantle 28 March had my 11th birthday in Melbourne on the 1 April. Settled in Brisbane until July 78 moved to Melbourne. I had a ball, as did my brothers, my sister was sea sick for a few days. Mum's nose was broken during a storm, the bunk ladder fell on her. Our family was broken up, Dad had to stay in a room of other males.. I remember the ship picking up the injured sailor, the flying fish.. the classes we did to learn about Australia and dining separately to our parents.

I was born on the Ellinis on the 23rd of july 1966. The ships master was John Ikiadis, staff captain was H.Polemis, chief purser was C.Comninos and the surgeon was J.Kalliakmanis. They all witnesses on my birth certificate
Shirley Myles Posted on 06 Apr 2015 9:33 PM
we sailed on the Ellinis from a freezing Southampton on 4 January 1970 and arrived in Wellington (NZ) early February. I remember so well our stops in Cape Town Melbourne and Sydney. how we loved our day trips and getting off the boat for a day!! it was a great experience, I was 14 at the time, and no way could we have travelled the world and seen those places otherwise. I think Ellin Izbicki has won the prize for the most original post on here tho!!!

I sailed from Southampton on the Ellinis on the 14th April 1966 arriving in Melbourne on the 12th May 1966.
I came to Australia with my parents. I was 13 and the eldest of 4 children. What an adventure it was - I had never been very far beyond Manchester. Travelling to London and Southampton and then through exotic places to the other side of the world.
Reading through some of the posts here there were two others who were on the same sailing, Sheila Wilson Waddoup and Hugh Nettleton. I would love to be able to get in touch.

Hello MIKE MCAULIFFE, wow, somebody from the same voyage! We ended up in East Hills Camp after arriving in Sydney. Not there for long thank goodness. Still living in Sydney but have been home a few times. Are you still in Australia?
Harry Tillotson Posted on 26 Apr 2015 7:51 PM
I remember this voyage/adventure well (as a 14 year old)if anyone remembers me I helped out in the sweet shop during the trip. I remember the party we had on deck when we crossed the equator. Seeing the cayman in the panama canal when the Chinese kitchen worker threw the waste overboard. Lots of flying fish, and of course the listing which was quite frightening to some passengers (I loved it)
Marnie Muir Posted on 12 May 2015 12:23 PM
Hi, I travelled on the Ellinis in 1970 from Southampton to Port Melbourne my name is Marnie and my maiden name was Clark, when I was 5years old and travelling with my little sister Gillian who was 3 years old. Our mum was Eliza Clark and may have been known on board as Betty or Liz. We would all have had very strong Scottish accents. I am wondering if anyone remembers us and also I have decided to become naturalised after 45 years. Have contacted NAA and as there are no records preceding 30 years I would like to obtain a passenger list for our trip. I dont have many memories except being violently seasick and the ship listing like a seesaw during one of the "childrens dinners". Hope someone out there can help.

My family arrived on the Ellinis in December 1965 in Melbourne. They are wanting to celebrate their 50 yrs here this year but one issue. They are unsure of the date of arrival. It was either the 29th December or 30th December. If anyone is able to help it would be much appreciated. I have tried searching a number of areas to no avail.
Ian Laughlin-Young Posted on 25 Jun 2015 11:43 PM
After putting my post on in 2013 just want to let you know - Sue has now overcome her seasickness - we have done 25 cruises/voyages
in the last five years but on every voyage we still re-count the four weeks we spent on the Ellinis in 1971 and as young couple then what an experience we had being aboard her. Wonderful time many memories - great ship and it was for many Aussie's a cheap way to get out and experience the world. I give thanks to Chandris Lines - Ellinis/Australis and their sister ships
for allowing us to discover the world.
Just a proud aussie saying get out and see
as much of it as you can.

Hello Vicky, I travelled on the same boat. They used to dock in the ports at night because it was cheaper. We were due to arrive in Sydney on 1st January, 1966. The official records show that we arrived on 1st January but in actual fact we were 1 day late arriving in Sydney on 2nd January, 1966. I was 13 years old when we did the voyage.

INDIANAPOLIS — When it comes to the NFL scouting combine, UCLA has done a U-turn.
The Bruins, largely irrelevant here for much of the last decade, finally matter again.
They have five players at the combine, and while that's two short of USC's contingent, UCLA has the region's most coveted player in linebacker Anthony Barr, a potential top-10 pick, and one of the event's best interior offensive linemen in guard Xavier Su'a-Filo. Also being put through the paces at Lucas Oil Stadium are Bruins receiver Shaq Evans, defensive end Cassius Marsh and linebacker Jordan Zumwalt, all of whom figure to be selected in the seven rounds of May's draft.
"We've created a real professional-like atmosphere in our program, from the way we train, to the way we prepare for games, to the way we recover, to the way we think, everything," UCLA Coach Jim Mora said. "It's very NFL-like."
That stands to reason, seeing as Mora was strictly a pro coach before he was hired by UCLA two years ago, and his staff is rich with NFL experience, including former NFL players Adrian Klemm, Jeff Ulbrich and Eric Yarber, and pro strength coach Sal Alosi.
"Sal has done a tremendous job, not only on the physical part, but teaching them over the past two years what it takes to be special," said Mora, who has been monitoring the combine online from Los Angeles, and fielding calls from scouts, coaches and general managers who have various questions about the UCLA prospects.
"The whole staff brought that type of [NFL] mentality to our team," Evans said. "It wasn't like college coaches where they're always trying to follow you or be all up in your business. They treated us like pros a little bit. As long as we handled our business, they weren't checking up on us like we were little kids. It was a good experience having those guys there."
For most of the last 13 years, UCLA has been an afterthought when it comes to producing draft picks. Yes, there was 2006, when tight end Marcedes Lewis went in the first round and running back Maurice Jones-Drew went in the second. But most years were closer to 2007, when the only UCLA player selected was fifth-rounder Justin Medlock, a kicker. In 2012, the season before Mora arrived, the Bruins were blanked — no draft picks.
Making matters worse for the Bruins, USC was pumping out a steady stream of first-rounders. Since 2000, the Trojans have had three times as many players picked as their crosstown rivals, 85 to 28, and can boast 37 players taken in the first two rounds, compared to nine Bruins.
If this year's combine contingent is an indication, USC isn't fading from relevance. Marqise Lee is an elite receiver prospect, and is joined at the combine by Trojans tight end Xavier Grimble, safety Dion Bailey, linebacker Devon Kennard, defensive end George Uko, running back Silas Redd and center Marcus Martin.
But along with the huge strides UCLA has made on the field, the Bruins have re-established themselves as a must-stop destination for NFL scouts. Six UCLA players attended last year's combine, and, by Mora's count, 15 seniors were drafted, signed as free agents or were worked out by NFL teams. That's a tribute to the recruiting of former UCLA coach Rick Neuheisel, too, as he also played a significant role in the rekindling of interest from NFL teams.
"UCLA used to have the reputation of being soft," Zumwalt said. "A lot of our guys hated that. We weren't about that at all. That's when Coach Mora showed up and he just made it OK for us to be ourselves: 'It's OK for you guys to go be you on the field. Go make plays. Go play as hard as you can while you're out there.'"
The recent turnaround is a far cry from the days when the main reason NFL scouts attended UCLA's pro day was that they had little else to do while waiting for USC's to start.
"We're just starting our journey," Mora said. "It's only been two years. But there's positive things happening around the program and certainly last year the guys came out, did a good job at the combine, and went on to play in the league. And then this year the guys I know are going to do a great job at the combine and get a chance to play in the league. That certainly bodes well for the future of the program."
An NFL team scout, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the topic, said: "UCLA players were always very good athletes and had a basic understanding of football but they lacked an edge and a fire to them. Now they come in and there's a confidence, they have good football knowledge, and they're better prepared physically, from a development standpoint. It's amazing they can do that in just a couple years since Jim has been there. It's a mind-set that they've changed."
Just as Mora and his staff have transformed the program, they have kept an open mind and transformed players, frequently playing some of their best athletes on both offense and defense. Nine defensive players played on offensive snaps for UCLA last season, and three Bruins at the combine — Barr, Marsh and Zumwalt — have spent time on both sides of the ball. Zumwalt lined up at fullback and caught a pass. Marsh dabbled at tight end and reeled in a touchdown catch.
Barr began his UCLA career as an H-back before switching to linebacker in Mora's first season. In two years, he established himself as one of the best pass rushers in college football.
"The transition was pretty smooth, honestly," Barr said. "Difficult at first, I think moving backward. Going back in coverage was something that was new to me. But now I feel comfortable with that. . . . If I continue to work, the sky's the limit."
That's reflective of how Mora feels about the program as a whole.
"Our players have trust in us," he said. "They know we're going to get them ready to play on Saturdays."
Sundays too.

Potential voice majors must present a memorized performance of three or four art songs or a combination of art songs and arias in contrasting styles and from different historical periods. (It is preferred that Musical Theatre songs not be used for audition.) These works should reflect the student's level of technical and interpretive skill. If previous study has included significant repertoire in a language other than English, one piece performed in the audition should be representative of the singer's competence in that language.
Singers requiring Bucknell accompanists for their auditions must send their music to the department at least two weeks prior to the audition date.
Violin: An etude from one of the standard etude books, such as Kreutzer, Fiorillo, Rode, or Dont; two contrasting movements from an unaccompanied sonata or partita of J.S. Bach, or two contrasting movements from a Baroque sonata by a composer such as Handel or Corelli; a movement of a concerto from the standard repertory by a composer such as Mozart, Mendelssohn, or Bruch; three-octave scales and arpeggios.
Viola: An etude from Kreutzer, Fiorillo, Campagnoli (Op. 22), or Fuchs; a movement from one of the unaccompanied works by Bach for cello or violin; a concerto by Telemann, J.C. Bach, or Stamitz; all major and minor scales and arpeggios.

We all remember the first erasable ballpoint pens... the ink was pale and blotchy, and the eraser tore through the page. Luckily, new pen technology has made the erasable pen of today better, brighter, and easier to use!
Many of these new pens erase entirely by friction, due to a special thermo-sensitive ink that comes out bold yet erases cleanly. Because friction is all you need to make your writing vanish, the erasers do not leave any messy residue to clean up. In addition to pens, there are also markers and highlighters that contain this new erasable ink!

Project managers went all out when they designed Wescott Park.
This summer people living in the Wescott Plantation area, as well as baseball and softball families from around the state, are getting introduced to the area's newest sports complex/park.
Years ago the City of North Charleston set out to create a park suited to host high-level baseball/softball tournaments that would also serve the general community. The plans all came to fruition this month as the city opened Wescott Park, located off Dorchester Road between Wescott Blvd. and Ashley Phosphate Road.
The park's athletic facilities have multiple features that set them apart from some of the other facilities in the area.
The three baseball/softball fields at the park are miniature models of Major League Baseball parks located in the cities of Atlanta, Boston and San Francisco. The park's Boston Field includes a miniature version of the legendary "Green Monster" wall in left field and Atlanta Field includes a silhouette backdrop of that city's skyline.
The dugouts are equipped with phones so that coaches can communicate with tournament officials in the press box. Concrete bleachers running down the first and third base lines are covered so that fans have shelter from the sun and rain.
Earlier this month the park hosted a Dixie Youth Softball state tournament and this week the park is hosting the 2013 South Carolina Dixie Youth Baseball AAA Minors (age 9-10) All-star Tournament. Both tournaments have attracted large crowds.
Nestled in between the fields is a children's playground, just one of the features designed to make the park appealing to the masses.
The other side of the park includes a Ripken Training Facility complete with batting cages, practice pitching mounds and a Ripken Training Circle. Patented by Cal and Bill Ripken, the Ripken Training Circle helps teams practice multiple skill sets in the same place, making practices more efficient. Bases for the circle are moveable so it is well suited for multiple age groups.
Wescott Park also includes an amphitheater for outdoor performances, green spaces and multi-purpose fields, walking trails through wetlands and a number of enclosed and open-air shelters suitable for a variety of community and family events.

Understanding the past will help you comprehend the present and prepare for the future.
"History majors understand the world and their place in it better than most people," says Rick Dodgson, associate professor of history. "History students get a real chance to think about our world and the creation of their society in ways that perhaps other students don't."
Here at Lakeland, your history major or minor will strengthen your diploma and indicate strong versatility and knowledge. Often, students double major in history and education and become highly sought-after school history teachers. History majors are also natural, attractive candidates for law school, among other graduate school programs.
"History majors are usually quite literate," says Dodgson. "They're good at reading; they like reading. They're good at writing. They're good at summarizing information, summarizing arguments, seeing both points of view and being able to think critically … So, you end up with a well-rounded, thoughtful, capable individual that fits fine in the world of business, in the world of commerce, the world of entertainment – anywhere."
Hands-on learning
Like almost all of Lakeland's programs, the study of history here involves getting out of the classroom and immersing yourself in real-world learning.
"What makes it special is the relatively small class size which allows us to do things you just can't do at a big university with a class full of 350 people … In our classes, if it's an archeology class, we go out and do archeology. If we're studying ethnic history, my class goes to the Sheboygan County Historical Research Center, which is full of millions of documents, and our students research the immigration history of local people."
In addition, internships are strongly encouraged and set up at local museums and archives.
History at Lakeland
Lakeland's History Club is "probably as vibrant as it's ever been," says Dodgson.
The club's recent activities have included an open mic night at The Pub and a video game competition involving Assassins Creed 3 – which is based on the American Revolution.
Other regular activities include field trips (recent excursions have been to the Chicago Field Museum and the Milwaukee Public Museum) and the sponsorship of political debates in Sheboygan.
Snapshot of Success
Name: Dale Yurs
Hometown: Verona, Wis.
Title: Special education assistant; Alderman
Business: Verona School District; City of Verona
Dale arrived at Lakeland College brimming with enthusiasm for government, history and religion. He left overflowing with a newfound passion for digging deep to acquire knowledge.
"Lakeland gave me the love for academics," says Dale, whose intense interest in the U.S. Constitution blossomed while here. "Before college, I enjoyed high school, but I never had that academic thrill I developed at Lakeland. What the professors gave me was a real thirst for knowledge, a desire to take things further. I wouldn't have gone on to get a master's degree or teach at the college level without my Lakeland experience."
At Lakeland, Dale got a taste for teaching by assisting in professors' classrooms and tutoring. He was also heavily invested in extracurricular activities, including organizing the "Get out to Vote" campaign in 2008. That project involved encouraging participation in the Presidential election and shuttling Lakeland students to their pre-determined voting location.
After graduating with his degree in history, with a religion minor, Dale spread his wings and soared. He earned a master's in constitutional history from the University of Northern Iowa, taught history at Upper Iowa University and helped put together a World War I exhibit for the Wisconsin Veteran's Museum in Madison.
In April, 2013, Dale defeated an incumbent and now proudly serves the Verona City Council as an alderman. His No. 1 priority, he says, is settling down and starting a family with his wife. But his love for politics continues to glow brightly.
"I'd love to be in the state legislature," he says. "I've always wanted to be involved in politics. My dream is not to get rich, but to have a career that allows me to make a positive impact, to help people."
He's doing a lot of that now, both as alderman and as a special education assistant.

Grow Bag Terrace Kit
Enjoy Grow Bag Success in a Versatile Terraced Planter — Includes Planting Mix!
- Grow a garden on your deck, patio or balcony
- Grow Bags and coir planting mix provide an ideal growing environment
- Handy top shelf holds supplies or potted plants
Our handsome and versatile Grow Bag Terrace includes everything you need to grow healthy herbs, greens and flowers. The freestanding wooden terrace is portable and attractive, and it comes complete with custom-made, 6" deep Grow Bags made from our patented, two-layer polypropylene fabric. This kit also includes two bags of coconut coir growing mix. Easy assembly.
- White cedar, coconut coir growing mix, polypropylene fabric
- 41-3/4" L x 27" W x 41-1/2" H
- Top shelf is 8-1/2" W
- Includes two bags of dehydrated coir that hydrate to 35 qts. each
- Easy assembly - directions with packing slip on outside of box
- Gardener's Supply Exclusive
Reviewed by 5 customers
Sort by
- Great Value
- Sturdy
- None from my perspective
Best Uses
- Starting Lots Of Plants
2 bolts were missing so I contacted customer service. They called me multiple times to make sure the problem was taken care of. Very friendly and caring staff!
- Was this a gift?:
- No
Best Uses
The shelves and braces must be screwed into the narrow side(s)of the legs with very long screws. Small blocks might make this function easier, as I consider this maneuver difficult for the inexperienced who might drive screws too close the edge and split the narrow side of the boards.
On the plus side, our local recycling center takes in, and gives away free, unwanted paints and stains. I got some exterior stain, used it prior to assembly, and it looks nice.
Adding some sort of brace across the top on which to hang a grow light would be a plus for me.
- Was this a gift?:
- Yes
- Easy to assemble
- Looks great
- Perfect for patios
Best Uses
- Herbs
Makes sure to check the packing slip on the outside of the package which also contains the assembly instructions.
Rehydrate the coir thoroughly in the bag it arrives in. I let mine sit overnight before transferring to the grow bag. Be sure to add nutrients as the coir is sterile.
I planted arugula and lettuce with growth appearring in 5 days.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Difficult to assemble
- No instructions
- Nothing grows
- Poor quality
Best Uses
This product took days to assemble. No instructions were included. The holes for the bolts were not large enough, so I had to drill them. One of the supporting legs is warped, so the entire thing is tilted. The pieces of wood are not sanded so there are many splinters. And to top it all off, the included coir growing medium is so dense and full of large chunks that my kales and chards cannot grow. After a month, they are still mere sprouts. Do not buy this product.
Forget about easy assembly. No instructions were included, but I was able to find them online (the instructions tell you that it's best to have 2 people assemble it). Some of the bolts had damaged threads so I had to go to my local hardware to purchase new ones. Some of the wood screws' slots for the philips head driver were not punched out rendering them unusable so back to the hardware. I called customer service to request a prepaid return shipping label, and was told that isn't Gardeners.com policy. They said I could return it at my expense (adding another $20-30 dollars for UPS to my cost on top of hardware purchases) and they would send a new one. I paid full price[$]and it is now on sale for [$] - but DON'T DO IT. Also, I had to re-drill approx 1/4 of all the holes. Lastly, the terrace is made from untreated pine wood so now I'm left with a choice. Use it for one year and watch it rot or take the time and expense to treat it. Not the best choice. Oh, and did I mention that customer service could care less!

Some have argued the hardest of the Google lunar X-prize would be just getting the funding
to complete the mission.
Just saw this mentioned on Habitablezone.com:
A Wet Moon Is Hot Once Again.
By Keith Cowing on November 15, 2009 8:01 AM 16 Comments
"Keith's 14 Nov note: Word has it that NASA JSC has a stealth "Project
M" underway whereby it would place a lander on the Moon in 1,000 days
- once approved.
"Meanwhile, word has it that NASA is now looking to match Google's $30
million pledge to the Google Lunar X Prize - and that Google may up
their ante as well. Conversations are being held directly between X
Prize and the 9th floor. IPP is not in the loop. Stay tuned."
http://www.nasawatch.com/archives/2009/ ... -is-h.html
Raising the prize amount to $60 million would go a long way to
developing interest for a team to make the attempt. At this amount you
might have teams also have one or more landers to land specifically in
those locations shown to have high water amounts.
Bob Clark
Single-stage-to-orbit was already shown possible 50 years ago with the Titan II first stage.
Contrary to popular belief, SSTO's in fact are actually easy. Just use the most efficient engines
and stages at the same time, and the result will automatically be SSTO.

Additional prize money could certainly help, depending the conditions attached and how it's paid out. A series of milestone prizes would be best, IMO. But it's all speculation until something's announced.

If they increase it properly: $100 MUSD for the first litre of drinkable water produced on the moon? Get it back to earth and you could probably sell it for a few MUSD as well.

An increase of the prize money for GLXP may not help much. The rules as they now stand are confused, unclear, in need of overhaul.
In doing so, I would hope it does not create a bias toward any particular method of doing business, for example, requiring large landed mass etc. would bias toward present launch means which is expensive, not widely available.
Also, there should be careful attention to the regulatory environments of the various countries so some countries are closed out. A US entry probably has to be national because of export restrictions, while other countries can have collaborations of more than one nationality.
The rules should be designed to encourage innovation, rather than having financial resources to "buy" launch means.
As one (Microlaunchers) committed to developing a vertically integrated launch/spacecraft system, perhaps there should be a set of prizes for entries which develops the launch, landing means as well as the rover, photography (the easiest part).

In previous post I said:
"Also, there should be careful attention to the regulatory environments of the various countries so some countries are closed out."
I meant "...so some countries are not closed out" I would not make as a typist...
But to expand on basis of the comment--the rules ought to encourage innovation, and very small size or cost. For an idea of a good, clear set of rules, see the N Prize [ http://www.n-prize.com/ ]. Beautiful in its simplicity.
The question of whether it can actually be done is immaterial. Trying for it is what counts.
