Back from Germany after 40 years

 

An Australian woman who has lived most of her life in Germany has returned to the Peninsula to begin a new life.

Born in Wollongong, she left when she was two years old and lived for 40 years near Ulm, in south-western Germany.

She has recently arrived back in Australia on an Australian passport.

Speaking very little English, she has already made friends amongst the German-speaking community in the area, with the help of the Australian-German Friendship and Welfare Society.

The woman and her 12-year-old son, who speaks German and English, are looking for a place to stay on the Peninsula, offering home help services in lieu of partial rent.

Anyone who might be able to assist is asked to call the welfare society president, Fritz Baumung, on 4341 7451.
