Scenes of Tatura Camp 2

It was remembered that painting classes were taken by Francesco Matania, a musician and artist from London, England. The following two watercolours gives us a glimpse into the Tatura Camp 2, where the Dunera Italians spent the majority of their time, first at Camp 2B then in 1942 onwards in Tatura Camp 2A.
