Lithuanian Elderships in Australia

-
Today there are active Lithuanian community groups in Adelaide, Canberra, Brisbane, Geelong, Sydney, with smaller communities in Hobart and Perth.
Soon after arrival in Australia there were numerous small community groups that were too small to create a society so became Elderships.  Many were located where Lithuanians completed their two year contracts soon after arrival in Australia.  Released from contract many Lithuanians migrated to larger towns and joining their groups and the Elderships closed.
