"There is no better way of life in the world than that of the Australian. I firmly believe this. The grumbling, growling, cursing, profane, laughing, beer drinking, abusive, loyal-to-his-mates Australian is one of the few free men left on this earth. He fears no one, crawls to no one, bludgers on no one, and acknowledges no master. Learn his way. Learn his language. Get yourself accepted as one of him; and you will enter a world that you never dreamed existed. And once you have entered it, you will never leave it."

It sounds like these words about immigrant life in Australia could have been written yesterday, but these are the words of writer John O'Grady in 1957. Read more about this beautiful tale portraying problems of Australian immigrants in Bert's Blog.
