Abstract
Anonymous diary from the boat and after Βοnegilla camp, 1956 11 pages written in modern Greek describing the conditions in the boat to and on the Australian land Although the writer has preferred to stay anonymous and the centre does not hold any further information, the choice of expressions and the style of writing gives away a well - cultured Greek man.

He ends his writing with his arrival at Bonegilla camp by mentioning that the living conditions in Australia were not as promising as he thought they would be.
