75 years ago, the Corsica left Cyprus with 762 Cypriot migrants for Australia. This book explores the broader movement of Cypriots to Australia until 1952 and what motivated them to emigrate, specifically to that country. It explores the attitudes of the Australian government to Cypriot migrants and the restrictions introduced in 1951 and 1952. It focusses on the voyage of the Corsica, which was a challenging and traumatic voyage for the largest number of Cypriots to migrate anywhere on one trip. It explores where they came from in Cyprus, where they initially settled in Australia, and how they helped to build the Cypriot community in this country.
