Blood and Gold traces the history of Hungarian emigration to Australia back to the early 1830s when the first Hungarian immigrant, a secondhand dealer from Pest, arrived in Australia to live in New South Wales.
Kunz research includes many primary sources including letters to also provide a vivid contemporary picture of life on the eastern goldfields for new migrants.
The various waves of migration are explored up to the post-WWII migration of more than 38,000 Hungarian people.
