Although German ancestry, according to the last census, is still among the top ten of ethnic and national ancestries in Australia, German Australians and their descendants are much less visible than other ethnic groups in Australia.
There is a long history of German migration to Australia – and more specifically to Victoria. With the help of a few pictures, Leo sketches what we could call the pre-history of the personal migration histories from the 1930s to the 1990s that are told in such lively voices by their protagonists themselves in Sabine Nielsen’s book and shown in the exhibits.
