Landmark Book on Greeks of Australia to be Presented in Sydney

A landmark text in Greek and English on the Greeks of Australia is to be presented at Sydney University this December. The book is a republication of the book ‘Life in Australia’s first published in 1916, the first book published in Greek in the country. It is an invaluable chronicle of the part played by Greeks in Australia’s history and culture but also a unique source of facts on issues such as Australia’s climate, the Aborigines, and the gold rush, to name a few. The republication is the culmination of copious efforts by Aggelos Notaras, James Prineas and George Poulos. In it the author of the book also admits that it would have been easier to explore the South Pole than to determine the identity of the first Greeks to arrive in Australia.
