While primarily an examination of the conditions in which the Greek diasporic community in Australia developed, with little reference to literature, the article does cite the oral lament composed in the early 20th century in Australia: 'Australia is an island where you can sail with ease, but once you go and settle there it's difficult to leave' (31).
