Upon arrival, they saw newspaper headlines with things like the local football scores – with news of the war in Europe decidedly in 2nd or 3rd place in terms of prominence. Rather than feel they’d arrived in some backwater, I believe the comment was something like “We’ve arrived in the right place – the football results are the main news, not the war back in Europe”. Well something like that. Makes me feel grateful, as my parents arrived in Australia as displaced persons after WW2.
