This book is a remarkable record of the equally remarkable transformation of modern Australia from a simple Anglo-Saxon convict settlement to today's truly multicultural society. Photographer Michel Lawrence has not only recorded the great variety of today's Australians but he has also recorded their stories, chronicling their often far distant places of birth along with the sometimes dangerous and adventurous paths they took to arrive on these shores.
It's a rich tapestry of the people of the world who have all chosen to call Australia home.
The result has been a two-year odyssey for Michel, meeting people from many different regions; in some cases places he had not even heard of. The outcome is a wonderful visual record of this global village in the world's most isolated continent, which has proved to be a haven from the brutality, extreme hardship and unrelenting horrors in many other countries throughout the world.
