Readers Comments30.01.22 Pinjarra1929 :
Would there be a way to find out how long her sailing was? Because my grandad Reginald Stanley Colville Hallewell was also2929 on Largs Bay. I think I found an online record on a Fairbridge site said it took one month, left may arrived Freemantle June 29th on 1929.
