Welcome Wall

Newcastle has a rich maritime history and part of that history is the immigrants that came to Australia to live and work.  This rich cultural mix has made Newcastle and Australia wonderfully diverse.  

The Maritime Centre wishes to pay tribute to those who made Australia what it is today.  

The names of Immigrants, the arrival ship and the date of arrival will be inscribed onto a wall that will be displayed around the Maritime Centre on Honeysuckle Drive, Lee Wharf.  Fittingly the Shed which houses the Martime Centre’s collection was the first time some immigrants had set foot on Australia.

You can be a part of this tribute by having your family name displayed for only $105.00.

To register simply click on the menu link and complete the form.  We will be in touch with you to verify details.  If you would like us to send out a registration pack please call  02 4929 2588.

For your name to appear on the wall immigrants must have settled and lived in Australia from another country.

In addition to the registration details we ask that you complete as much of the information about the family as you can.  This will help build a database for future research.
