I’m spending the day at the Greek Australian Writers’ Festival in Adelaide hearing fascinating stories of Greek Australian history and migration to Australia. Did you know that the first Greeks arrived in South Australia in 1864? Amazing for a state first colonised in 1836. Thanks to Elena Carapetis and Nick Seindanis for sharing their stories.
