"This was a great incursion to support our Immigration Unit. Jan engaged students with his great storytelling abilities as well as his entertaining singing and variety of instrumental use."Boronia Heights PS
From the First Australians who walked and sailed from Africa, through the the First Fleet and Gold Rush to post-war migration including Jan Wositzky's personal family story, this is a story and music/song show about how Australia became a land of many peoples.
Accompanied by graphics and maps dating back to the the 13th century, the stories, songs and graphics tell of:
* The ten thousand year journey out of Africa of the First Australians.
* How Indigenous people migrated over the continent, with many languages.
* The First Fleet and how that changed this continent forever.
* Caroline Chisholm who brought many women to a male dominated colony.
* The 1850s gold rush, the beginning of contemporary multi-cultural Australia
* The Chinese gold diggers walking 800 k from Robe to the goldfields.
 * Refugees today, and how everyone came here for better life (though maybe not  the convicts).
