Until 1904 . .? Still going on .. except we kick them home now when we are done

My late mum (would be 94 now) often spoke about the big strong “ Islanders up in Qld” Now they are back working (legally & willingly) in the orchards in the Goulburn Valley. A couple of seasons work can set them up for life back home!

In 1788 people were forced out of their home country of England to be bought to Australia as a slave to build a country that’s now one of the best places to live in the world.

'... through employment contracts they did not fully understand...' I guess some things never change.

Thank you ABC and Elliose Farrow-Smith for bringing to light this part of Australia’s history.
