Joe Zekulich was 16 when he arrived in Australia with little money and speaking no English. His mission was to find work and send money home to his family in Dalmatia to assist with their living and pay off the money he had borrowed at 40% interest for his fare.

After jobs in the Goldfields and as the sleeper cutter in the South-West, he gravitated to the vineyards of the Swan Valley, most of them run by his countrymen and Italians.
