The Quest to Keep Myself Occupied – Part D, The Immigration Museum

Australia is a nation of immigrants and what is left of the native population. More than even Canada or the United States, it is the immigrant story that makes up the story of the country. In Melbourne, there is a museum that looks at that history.
