The Dunera Association announces the first reunion event of 2025. Preparing the 85th anniversary of the landings of the Dunera and the Queen Mary in Australia, an invitation is extended to Tatura on April 13. There, in the Australian state of Victoria, were the camps where most of the Dunera Boys and internees of the Queen Mary were held. The Tatura Irrigation and Wartime Camps Museum presents the history of the internments and prisoners of war there with the help of many documents and objects.

An appearance by the well-known British television journalist Nick Ross, son of Dunera Boy Hans Rosenblueth from Finowfurt near Berlin, has been announced. The Süddeutsche Zeitung (unfortunately walled garden) dedicated a full-page article to Nick Ross in 2018, telling the story of his family – their roots in Brandenburg, their flight to England and his father’s deportation to Australia. The reason for this was that Nick Ross decided to “side with the decent” and take German citizenship in 2018 in connection with Brexit and the rise of right-wing populism.

The association is in talks with musician Nicole Forsyth about a performance of Dunera-related songs.
Tatura is almost 200 kilometers north of Melbourne by road and is not easy to reach by train. The Association is aware of the transportation problems and therefore considers hiring a minibus for travel to and from the event if that would enable more people to attend the event.
