Moving To Australia
Welcome to Australia! Australia has a rich history of immigration beginning with its founding in 1901 and continuing on to today. As such, numerous different people have come over to this Great Southern Land and here you can experience and learn about some of the lives and stories of different people. Policies change and new global climates develop with events around the world so Australia's Immigration History has commonly been split into three main periods. Which period would you like to experience?
