We chose to visit the old Vietnamese refugee camp at Pulau Galang with our children to remind them what so many people who have done so much to build our homeland, Australia, went through on their journey to their new home. We live in difficult times, and this camp is a warning of what can happen when we close our doors, and a tribute also to what Indonesia has done to support the needy. The camp consists of barracks, administrative buildings, a Catholic Church, temples and a cemetary (probably the most haunting part of the visit, seeing those who never reached their final destination) and a small but poignant museum. The buildings are in poor condition, but sometimes doing too much to preserve a site can rob it of its power. I think this would be the case here. If you have children, and you would like them to develop a social conscience, this is a must visit. It is quite a long drive, but definitely worth it. We spent a couple of hours here, and could easily have spent longer.
