Too many Thomas WOODS to sift through without some further information.

By the mid 50's he could have flown out there of course,he's not necessarily going to appear on the ships passenger lists. A lot of people going out to Oz,started off heading to NZ first.

Thanks for all the offered information. My latest post had an error.It's Charles Patrick Woods, not Thomas, I am researching. His father was  "Thomas"
