    There are various memorials to former UK child migrants in Australia. In Perth - outside the Maritime Museum - there is a sculpture of two child migrants, a boy and a girl, carrying suitcases.
    At the Immigration Museum in Melbourne there is a Welsh lovers seat - a wooden sculpture with two seats facing each other. In Sydney, at the Maritime Museum, there is a sculpture in stainless steel of a group of children based on a paper chain.
    These were funded by the Federal Government following the Senate Inquiry - Lost Innocents - in 2002. These are all relevant to your research.
