About the Book

Today, around 30 000 Australians have Finnish blood in their veins. With vibrant colour photography and intensely personal recollections, Finns Down Under creates a rich tapestry of Finnish immigrants' 'old country' memories. The 47 people interviewed for this book represent a range of age groups, genders and social backgrounds. The book includes 39 colour photographs with memories in English, Finnish or Swedish, as well as insightful essays by writer Juhani Kellosalo, MD, and Professor Olavi Koivukangas. Finns Down Under provides a living link between Finnish memories and Australian culture. Migrants, portrayed in their current Australian landscape, take the reader on a journey back in time to places familiar, fascinating and sometimes disturbing.The question is: what kind of memories stay with you after you settle in a new country? (Self-published in Logan, QLD, Australia 2007; 241 p. with 38 colour portraits; hard cover.)
