It has been awhile since I have posted. It has been a busy year and now I think its time for a change. This blog has focused on South Australian Lithuanian history, mainly because that is where I am, but its time to expand this history to include all of Australia.
I am working more heavily in the Australian Lithuanian Archives and so hope to bring you stories and information from what we discover.
We welcome contributions from readers who have a story to tell about Lithuania and Australia.
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.
