I came back... Advertiser 29 July 1996 Emigré Returns Reuters: Immigration Department officials from the Working Group on Cultural Aliens at Adelaide International Airport recently released a 34 year Australian woman back into the local community after a self imposed exile of nine years. The woman, whose identity is suppressed (after so many years of living amongst the English), wasn't able to explain herself at all. |

Many people imagined it must have been very exciting living abroad, and asked whether I would go back? I wanted to shout... "It wasn't a dream, it was a place, a real live place. All I kept saying to everybody was that I want to go home and I'm not going to leave here ever again because I love you all. There's no place like home, there's no place like home, there's no place like home, there's no place like home..." From the "Wizard of Oz"
