After the Second World War, Australia experienced a massive influx of migrants under the "Populate or perish" policy. Most of them settled here and successfully built new lives, but for some, life in Australia wasn't quite what they'd hoped and they chose to return home. In this June 1966 segment from the program People, ABC reporter Bob Sanders goes dockside in Sydney Harbour to speak with some of the returning migrants about to board the MS Achille Lauro.
