The First Wave: Beyond a White Australia

the first wave: beyond a white australia

My latest project, about Australian immigration history, went live on Friday night. The museum, immigration and local history sets all love it, and the national multicultural broadcaster SBS produced a story on it as well. I just wish we could have secured the rights to run 20 seconds of an incendiary newsreel of the SS Misr's arrival (which berated the government for accepting displaced persons from Greece, Italy, Malta and central Europe who weren't "of our own stock"). But I'm happy it's done - now I can catch up on my sleep :-).

And socialising too - like this degustation dinner we're going to on Sunday night at Three Clicks West. They had me at "Terrine of roast peppers and potato with goats’ cheese mousse and toasted brioche". Or the "Baked cauliflower custard with mustard pickled vegetables, cauliflower tempura and Gruyere beignet". Or the "Pressed mushroom and potato pave with wild mushroom ragout, bread sauce,
crispy leeks and braised kohlrabi". Autumn's the most rewarding time for gustatory pleasures!
