Creating a Nation: Modern Immigration Stories (Stage 2, Stage 3, Stage 5)
Since World War II, more than 10 million people have crossed the seas to settle in Australia.
ACTIVITY OUTLINE:
Today, around half of Australia’s population of 25 million was either born overseas or has a parent born overseas. From British child migrants to Russian émigrés, or Vietnamese refugees to Afghan asylum seekers, Australia is a nation of migrants.
While people came from different places, for different reasons and at different times, they all shared the same hopes for freedom, opportunity and a better future for their families.
Explore 6 stories of people who travelled across the seas to make Australia their new home.
Produced by ABC Education in collaboration with Australian National Maritime Museum.
