These stories are an intimate window into the lives of multicultural people living on the Sunshine Coast. Some arrived here 60 years ago and some have only been here a few months.

Their journeys to Australia are all very different. Some boarded a ship, some boarded a plane and some tell of fleeing from conflict. 

The stories talk about love, sacrifice and homesickness, friendship and support, and how local people made a big difference in their lives.

All these stories represent the coasts rich cultural diversity. There are 20 conversations in the Multicultural Conversations Booklet[5545KB]. Six of these stories are below for you to view.
