In return for near-free transport they are required only to stay a minimum of two years in Australia. Are these persons the ne'er-do-wells of British society, the unskilled misfits who have not been able to succeed in Britain Do they base their decisions to emigrate on reliable information and study economic opportunities in other overseas countries before choosing Australia To what extent do relatives and friends in Australia and the fact that it is a British country influence their decisions Why do they leave their homeland - inequality of opportunity; a hostile class structure; the climate What do they know about the country many of them will never leave and what do they hope to achieve by going there In 1959 Dr Appleyard and a team of interviewers set out to find the answers to these questions.
