Highlights from the article: In some cases, these pathways, as part of a Department-led network driven by industry demands, were longer and multi-nodal - for example, a migrant family could be processed at Bonegilla, transferred to Parkes migrant centre, and then the main breadwinner could be sent to work on the Snowy Mountains. This physical kind of vacancy illustrates how colonial agricultural settlement displaced and erased indigenous industries, and it contrasts the economic vacancy left in the wake of the closure of Geelong's manufacturing industries. The site of the operative Villawood Immigration Detention Centre, located in western Sydney, has a historical connection to the development of industry in Australia from previously being a munitions factory during the Second World War to then become one of Australia's largest migrant hostels. Being Australia's longest running migrant hostel (1949-1984) and one of only two former hostel sites which overlap with adjunct histories of immigration detention, Villawood presents an experimental site which draws together discussions of migrancy with particular attention to the first point of entry for economically or politically disenfranchised migrants and refugees into Australia. |
