The 24th of Adar marks 50 years since the Rebbe sent the first group of Shluchim to Melbourne, Australia to establish the Yeshiva Gedolah.
They arrived in Melbourne on Wednesday, the 26th of Adar I, 5727.
The following is a rare recording of the Yechidus with the Rebbe the night before they left. The pictures below were taken upon their arrival in Melbourne.
A farbrengen will take place tonight, Thursday, commemorate this occasion, at the home of Rabbi Hirshel Morozov, 543 Crown St., 9:30 PM.

wow!!!! never heared the rebbe speaking to tmimim in yechidsus before! and brilliant quality too!
The shluchim of tjhe friediker rebbe were,
Reb zalma syrbranski.Reb Abba Pliskin, reb Bzalalel Wilschanki, reb isser Kluwgant, Reb Nochum Zalman Gurewitz, Horav Mordechai Perlow and reb Shmuel Bzalel Althaus
Incorrect. They were the first shluchim to YG Melbourne
Australia had 6 Shluchim families sent by the Friediker Rebbe in the 1940s (i believe)
Growing up in melbourne I recall vividly the shluchim. The impact they had on the community. Totally unbelievable. Never have seen 770 bochum, we were totally awestruck by their presence. We will never forget those times
Powerful Yechidus.
As a father blesses and wishes his best for his only child.
The first Shluchim to Australia.
What wonderful years we had learning in 770 seeing the Reebbe 2/3 times a day upstairs in the Zal for davening.
