Making Australia Home

by Kent MacCarter & Ali Lemer (Eds.)

I haven’t read this yet, but have heard an interview with an editor and it sounds like a good read if you want to learn more on the experience of migrating to Australia.  Here’s the review from the book’s site.  Click on the link above for further information.

Joyful Strains collects twenty-seven memoirs from writers describing their expatriation to Australia. These are stories about what they found, who they became and what they now think of Australia – stories that provide entertainment, perspective and cause to celebrate our increasingly diverse nation. This is an insightful, compelling and sometimes confronting collection for all Australians.”
