A generation of Samians arrived in Australia during the 1950s and 1960s, bringing with them profound experiences and evocative diaspora stories.
To honour this generation and generations to come, the Samian Social Club is collecting the personal stories of our members, tracing journeys from Samos to Australia and enduring cultural connection to preserve the unique history of our community.
If you or a family member would like to share your story, photos or videos, we would love to hear from you. Please contact the Committee at samiansocialclub@gmail.com
