ACROSS THE SEAS: Immigration by sea to Australia 1940 to 1970

 

Nightly, Friday 27 May – Saturday 18 June 2022

It is said that the Soul of Sydney resides in Sydney harbour. This stunning collage of images shows that for many immigrants, it was a gateway to a new life.

In this show we travel back to a time when migration by ship was the most common mode of travel and Sydney a coveted destination! People from all over the world dreamt of coming to Australia. Risking a dangerous voyage, arriving on a strange and foreign continent, to build a new life far from loved ones and their old homes.
