Some of the active Greek communities and institutions in Sydney are:

  • The Hellenic Historical and Cultural Centre NSW
  • The Greek Orthodox Community of NSW
  • The Greek Film Society 
  • The Mytilenian Brotherhood of Sydney & NSW
  • The Kytherian Association
  • Atlas Greek Community Centre
  • The Castellorizian Association NSW 
  • The Pondian Club NSW

Cooktown, Far North Queensland. A Chinese town from the 1870s, and the main port for the Palmer River gold rush. I have a bunch of Swedish-Irish ancestors buried here too, on Guugu Yimithirr country. As usual the local historians treated me with kindness. I learnt a lot.
