Many people can think of at least one fateful journey that linked their pasts to their futures. The fifteen stories told in this book relate to one such journey in late 1968 - the first two flights from Turkey to Australia. These stories reveal the aftermath of that journey, reflecting what happened to the Turks in Australia in the last 25 years.

These ordinary people - workers and their families - present a truly human picture of what it means to be a migrant living in the great land down under, with all its joys, sorrows and tribulations. In doing so, they offer a fresh look at the wider Australian society.
