Old Migrant Hostel

Former local resident David Castles recalls the old Fishermans Bend Migrant Hostel. The Fishermans Bend Migrant Hostel was opened in 1952 and accepted new arrivals until 1975. The hostel was located on the corner of Hall and Turner Streets, and consisted of a series of Nissen Huts and warehouses, leftover from the war. – Biosis, Fishermans Bend Historic Account, 2013.
