'While preparing to capture his likeness for a collage, a photographer converses with Antonio Azzopardi, the first Maltese migrant to Australia. Based upon historical events, this book recalls an era of change which led one man willing to embrace adventure down a path to success in a faraway land. The Maltese man speaks Malti-Awstraljan (Maltralian), a curious dialect of Maltese which developed in parts of Australia.' (Publication summary)
