@MirCat; for someone claiming to know the history of Bonegilla very well your comment is anything but accurate.
Your comment about local Aboriginal People is just plain WRONG - as just one example, until he died way too young I even worked closely with much admired and well-known Aboriginal Eddie Kneebone to deliver very effective support and programs for aboriginal kids in local schools.
I played sports with kids of some of those migrants who came via Bonegilla, worked on their parents orchards and orange groves, in their shops and even helped my Dad deliver pig shit to some of them from a local piggery - cherished as manure for their gardens. They were our community, not some sort of parasites living off the generosity of others.
The data below is only for Wodonga [ie. does not include Aboriginal communities in Albury]
