Post WW2 Australia flung open its doors to anyone willing to come. One in six of these were Italians, who re-created all the things they missed from home in one particular street of a rundown Melbourne suburb. Post WW2 Australia flung open its doors to anyone willing to come and European migrants flocked from their war-torn homeland. One in six of these were Italians with the promise of a better life. Instead, they found themselves alone in a peculiar surroundings and face-to-face with "real" Aussies. Fearing what they didn't understand, Australians were suspicious of these new arrivals.
