People have migrated to Australia for many reasons. Some flee from the ravages of war, hunger, religious persecution or political repression.
Some are the victims of global warming and rising sea levels.
Others have been lured by a sense of adventure, by the prospect of a new beginning, of owning land, of making a fortune, or to be reunited with loved ones.
Experiences vary from person to person, family to family, community to community.
Using sound, still and moving images we explore the reasons why people leave their homelands to come to Australia across time, place and culture.
