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

Its on the map!
I have been learning more about Google Maps and am playing around with places that are or have been significant in the lives of many Lithuanian migrants to South Australia.
Hi Daina, What an amazing blog! I found your pictures on Flickr first, I love the map of all the migrant hostels, and using google maps is a great way to share the locations.
The Migration Museum have started a Flickr group and are asking people to share their photos of the migrant hostels: http://www.flickr.com/groups/migranthostels/pool/with/5423788617/
We'd love to hear from you and other people in the Lithuanian community who have photos on Flickr.
Looking forward to seeing what else you have in store on the blog.
