    1954, Addio Trieste... The Triestine Community of Melbourne Adriana Nelli A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Victoria University November 2000 -^27 2->v<^, \U6IL THESIS 994.5100451 NEL 30001007178181 Ne 1 li, Adriana 1954, addio Trieste— the Triestine community of MeIbourne I DECLARATION I hereby declare that this thesis is the product of my original work, including all translations from Italian and Triestine. An earlier form of Chapter 5 appeared in Robert Pascoe and Jarlath Ronayne, eds, The passeggiata of Exile: The Italian Story in Australia (Victoria University, Melbourne, 1998). Parts of my argument also appeared in 'L'esperienza migratoria triestina: L'identita' culturale e i suoi cambiamenti' in Gianfranco Cresciani, ed., Giuliano-Dalmati in Australia: Contributi e testimonianze per una storia (Associazione Giuliani nel Mondo, Trieste, 1999). Adriana Nelli ABSTRACT Triestine migration to Australia is the direct consequence of numerous disputations over the city's political boundaries in the immediate post- World War II period. As such the triestini themselves are not simply part of an overall migratory movement of Italians who took advantage of Australia's post-war immigration program, but their migration is also the reflection of an important period in the history of what today is known as the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region.. 1954 marked the beginning of a brief but intense migratory flow from the city of Trieste towards Australia. Following a prolonged period of Anglo-American administration, the city had been returned to Italian jurisdiction once more; and with the dismantling of the Allied caretaker government and the subsequent economic integration of Trieste into the Italian State, a climate of uncertainty and precariousness had left the Triestines psychologically disenchanted and discouraged.

INTRODUCTION To construct this unique contribution to the history of Western Australia I have used the words of over 100 British migrants who came here in the 1960s. Over a million people left the British Isles to migrate to Australia during the 1960s1. Over one hundred thousand migrants, not all of whom were British, came to Australia on the Castel Felice between 1959 and 1969. 2 She was one of the many ships travelling the route between Europe and Australia in the great post-war movement of peoples.

Chapter One Migration and the Building of the Nation The migration story is as old as time. Steve Olsen asserts that we are all each other’s brothers and that ‘all 6 billion people on the planet descended from a single ancestor’.1 Migration is a fact of humanity. The current emigrations from developing nations and the influx into Australia of Asian and African peoples is similar to the situation in Europe during the Industrial Revolutions when more than 17 million people left Europe for North America.2 The British immigrants who forged new worlds in the Americas and Australia were already a multinational race descended from Picts and Celts, Romans and Jutes, Saxons and Vikings, Normans and colonials, with some French and Russian émigrés added to the mix.
