The events of WWII forced many Lithuanians to flee their country. Unable to return, over 10,000 came to Australia. This is their history.

Beginings
I have always been interested in history and have for a time wanted to record the history of the Lithuanian community in South Australia. After much procrastination i began in December by compiling a list of names. To date I know have over 750 Lithuanian names. Over time I will add more information as it comes to light. I hope that a website detailing this information can be created at a later date.
