terra nova: a land of milk and honey
Following the end of the Second World War, there remained over one million people who, for one reason or another were displaced from their country of origin. From 1947-54 Australia received 170,000 persons of diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds, 60,000 of whom were Polish. They arrived as servicemen, single men and women, families and young people. This is their story.

The Captain of the "Fairsea" welcoming the Australian Minister for Immigration, Hon. Arthur Calwell at Fremantle, Western Australia, in August 1949. On board were Polish refugees migrating to Australia.
"I have the honour of greeting you in the name of a group of Poles arriving in Australia. Our way to freedom was long and very hard. It led us from being oppressed by the invaders of Poland, through concentration camps, captivity, slave labour and long waiting in DP camps. But we are happy to see a free country and its free citizens as we were 10 years ago. We are thankful to you, Sir, and to the Australian Government for putting the end to our homeless life. On our side we are promising to do our best when living in Australia and working for Australia, a country of freedom."12 year old Polish girl (name unknown) speaking to Arthur Calwell on-board the Fairsea in Fremantle, 1949.
