Croatians

A scattering of Croatian migrants arrived in Sydney during the nineteenth century, but most Croatian Sydneysiders came here because of war and upheaval in their home country in the twentieth century. After World War II, when Yugoslavia came into being, many leftist Croatians went home, leaving en masse in 1948-49, and being replaced by another wave of immigrants, fleeing Communism and poverty. These Croatians have preserved their culture and identity in their new city.
