Falling around the Bicentenary of Greek Independence, this event shines a new light on the liberation of Greece as the starting point for a period of immigration to Australia, and the first foundations of a strong Greek Australian community during the gold rush of the 1850’s up to the most recent migration wave post European Financial Crisis.
