    "Uranquinty played role in Populate or Perish Policy
    Excerpts “From Our Past” by Sherry Morris, the Daily Advertiser Jan 20,1996
    The migrant hostel was established in December 1948 on the site of the former RAAF Air Service Flying School, some 5 Kilometres north west of the township of Uranquinty. During the occupancy through to its closure as a migrant centre in 1952, near 28,000 displaced persons/ refugees migrants passed through the facility, by far the greater majority of these being women and children.

    Male migrants were contracted to work on projects at the discretion of the Commonwealth Dept. of Immigration.

    As accommodation became available in proximity to where the workers were situated, then the families moved on from the hostel centre, hence the large figure shown as having been housed at Uranquinty in a relatively short period of time.

    The NSW Department of Education opened a school for immigrant children. Staff at the centre totalled 100 by April 1949.

    The huts were unlined corrugated iron with few provisions for comfort — suitable for toughness-building austerity in single men, but not suitable for women, children and particular young babies. Accommodation was dormitory-style for up to 22 people in separate single or family blocks. Though expected to be temporary, the immigrants were often kept there for up to three years..."
