An impressive photo exhibition titled “The Journey” was presented during “The Ouzo Festival”, organized by the Palesviaki Enosis Melbourne in Bayswater. The exhibition’s archive belongs to Vasilis Vasilas. He claims that “every photo is a memory of the immigrant”. He also notes that the exhibition, as well as his book “Journeys of Uncertainty and Hope” are based on his website www.syndesmos.net, where he has a photo archive of the Mytilenean immigrants in Australia. He has detected 750 compatriots of his, up to now. His efforts, which started in Sydney, will be continued in other states of Australia as well. According to Vasilis Vasilas, the majority of Mytileneans migrated to Australia after the Minor Asia catastrophe and the population exchange.
