Red Symons and Paul Jennings will share their experiences of migration at the launch of the Immigration Museum’s latest exhibition, British Migrants: Instant Australians?. The exhibition is meant to challenge the idea of what migrants look like by exploding the myths about the biggest migrant group ever to come to Australia.

Dr Moya McFadzean, Senior Curator, Museums Victoria, and various British migrants have shared their stories for the exhibition. Also on display is a stunning installation of tea cups and crockery spanning the 1940s to the 1970s, representing the period of British migration explored in the exhibition.

The exhibition is on at Immigration Museum, 400 Flinders St, Melbourne

Dear Reader,

The Indian Sun is an independent organisation committed to community journalism. We have, through the years, been able to reach a wide audience especially with the growth of social media, where we also have a strong presence. With platforms such as YouTube videos, we have been able to engage in different forms of storytelling. However, the past few years, like many media organisations around the world, it has not been an easy path. We have a greater challenge. We believe community journalism is very important for a multicultural country like Australia. We’re not able to do everything, but we aim for some of the most interesting stories and journalism of quality. We call upon readers like you to support us and make any contribution. Do make a DONATION NOW so we can continue with the volume and quality journalism that we are able to practice.

Thank you for your support.

Best wishes,
Team The Indian Sun
