The events of WWII forced many Lithuanians to flee their country. Unable to return, over 10,000 came to Australia. This is their history. We respect and honour Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders past, present and future. We acknowledge the stories, traditions and living cultures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples on this land and commit to building a brighter future together.
