AUSTRALIA DAY 01/26/2010
 
Australia Day is always a special time for me to remember my maternal grandfather who courageously chose to migrate to Australia in the early 50s. My paternal grandparents did it too. My paternal grandparents were separated for one year and I have the letters my grandfather wrote to my grandmother in that time and the ticket from the ship my grandmother, my dad and his brothers travelled on from Italy.

My grandparents left their family and home country behind and migrated to Australia with nothing. They travelled to Australia on a ship for months to get to Australia and start a better life for them and their families in the ‘lucky country’.  Lucky for me too, if he didn’t I wouldn’t be here today!

We are still welcoming migrants with open arms today and I feel so proud and privileged to help the individuals and families who come to me for migration assistance and advice so they too can migrate to Australia.

HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY EVERYONE!
