Local Description

This is the remarkable journey of John Vogels AM, who, in 1953, at the tender age of  nearly 7, embarked on an incredible voyage with his family from Holland to Australia. Over the course of seven decades, this narrative unfolds the vivid tapestry of his life. It encompasses the trials and tribulations of migration, the enduring efforts of his parents to carve out a promising future for their children, his evolution from a farmer to a prominent figure in agro-politics, local governance, and state politics, where he represented the South West region of Victoria. In a riveting addition, the story also grants insight into the harrowing interviews conducted in Holland before securing approval for migration—an aspect that makes for a compelling and thought-provoking read.
