From post-war European migration to those moving to Melbourne from the Middle East and South Asia, the city’s suburbs are changing. | _Biancah, Carolyn Webb and CarlaJaeger17
Let’s start in Lygon Street, the home of Australia’s post-war European migration boom.
Even so, when Damante arrived in Australia and settled in the suburb that became known as Little Italy, “there was nothing here”.Advertisement Brunswick, too, is changing. The suburb – which became renowned for its rich cultural diversity in the post-war years of European, particularly Mediterranean, migration – is now decidedly establishment.
Friends had also recommended Melbourne: “They said it is affordable with more job opportunities as compared to other cities in Australia.” Harry Chiem was 14 when he migrated to Australia from Vietnam. It was 1983 and at that time Australia was taking more than 15,000 Vietnamese refugees annually as part of the refugee resettlement plan.Paul Jeffers
Chiem and his wife, Thuy, bought Bun Bun Bakery in 1998, after the original owner came down with food poisoning and decided to sell the business. It has since landed the top spot of many of Melbourne’s best food lists., which housed 30,000 migrants and refugees between 1969 and 1992, many of whom were Vietnamese. Many of those migrants settled in the suburb.
