In 1959, Patrick O'Brien, 15 (along with sisters, Mary O'Brien, 13 and Myrtle O'Brien, 12), arrived at Sydney, Australia, in a group of Fairbridge children from Knockholt, Kent, England, en route to Fairbridge Farm School, Molong, Australia.

Patrick currently resides in Sydney, Australia, and related, "We were located in Molong, NSW where I spent 3 yrs, during which time I also attended Orange High School. I often look back with fond memories of that somewhat surrealistic voyage, as a pleasant interlude in an otherwise difficult childhood."
