Franco's first women's plane from Euskal Herria and the Spanish state arrived in Australia. The regime, through the Catholic Church, treated the Australian Government. The first treatment was that of the men, who offered them a two-year contract to go to work in Australia. Many of them started to turn around and then the women started sending. Among the clergy, the offer to go to work in Australia was expanded, but once there the situation was very different. The aim of the trips was to get the work done and married to the men they had sent before. Until 1963, some 700 women were sent, many Basques. The operation was called ‘Marta Plan’.
