The Great Aussie Jigsaw (2009)
Some were already here in The Dreamtime, some came on convict ships and some came as pastoralists and miners. Some were sponsored, seeking ‘wealth for toil’. Some came for the climate; happy to share their wisdom, their skills and their cultures. Some came fleeing oppression, seeking a safe haven under our clear blue skies. All share a purpose in common, making Australia a work in progress, a giant jigsaw puzzle with pieces waiting to be filled and layers of stories waiting to be heard. |
