My sister came to Australia first at the age of 13 as a Commonwealth Government single woman & stayed with my Aunty. My father & brother came next. My father worked & saved money to send for my mother & I to come 2 years later. Both parents came in their 40's with nothing. My father died aged 78 leaving us 3 blocks of land.

This is my Nonna and great aunt. Incredibly proud of my Nonna and Noono for the massive choice they made for their family and the bravery it took.
