Open daily between 10am – 5pm You can quite easily spend an entire day researching how and when your ancestors first arrived – Post World War II Migrant ships the most infamous ship would have to be The Australis, this ship was the last ship to carry government assisted immigrants to our shores in 1977, she had the largest passenger capacity of and World War II immigrant ships, her style was very grandeur and Art Deco style.unlike the modern furnishings of Corporate Keys Melbourne Serviced Apartments.

The Australis first left Greece with her first intake of immigrants in 1965 until 1977, completing a total of 62 voyages. In 1970 a fire broke out in the galley causing a substantial amount of damage not only to the galley but also the Ballroom and 40 guest cabins. Passengers came from Britain, Germany and many European cities. For many the journey was an adventure for the singles, at this time the journey by ship was like taking a cruise holiday, however Melbourne did not have the luxury of Serviced Apartments on offer to the New Australians to join our shores, for others it was a trip to freedom from political upheaval in their home country and the start of a new life. Serviced Apartments had not even been thought of at this time, the new Australians where housed in dormitories or in the Army Barracks sites around Melbourne. Had Serviced Apartments been around during the new intake of immigrants to Australia no doubt many more new Australians to our shores would have stayed and introduced to a much brighter side of Melbourne life.

The Australis’s final voyage to Australia was in November 1977, after which the Australis was sold to the Venture Cruise lines who renamed her “America”, however this venture was unsuccessful and the liner was sold back to Chandris Line who had plans to sail her through the Mediterranean, renaming her Italis, sadly after three voyages she was laid up, yet again new ownership by Panamanian ownership and finally renamed Alferdoss, in 1988 she had to be run aground close to Piraeus to stop her sinking.
