e as a series of journeys.
             There are a variety of different texts that portray the notion of life being a series of journeys. This notion is mainly shown through the techniques that the composers use to explore the concept of physical journeys. A particular text, which represents the concept of physical journeys is a poem written by Peter Skrzynecki called 'Immigrants at Central Station, 1951'.

The poem shows the view that Peter Skrzynecki is faced with when he and his family return from the stay in Parks Detention Centre.
