Turkish Arrival in AustraliaPrint Page

The Aleppo Pine, a descendant of the original Lone Pine at Gallipoli, was planted in 1997 to mark the 29th anniversary of Turkish arrival in Australia.
Significant migration formally began in 1967 after the Australian and Turkish governments made an agreement to assist migration of people from Turkey to live and work in Australia. This was the first instance Australia signed an Assisted Passage agreement with a country outside of Western Europe.
Many of the Turks that took advantage of the opportunity to migrate to Australia intended to be non-permanent migrant workers and sent remittances back to their families. However, many (if not most) of these workers ended up staying in Australia permanently and sought to move their families over as well. Family reunion has been the main reason for immigration since 1974, with arrivals remaining consistent since.
