Arrival of the Greek Ship "Patris" in 1961 in Port Melbourne, Australia

Arrival of the Greek Ship "Patris" in 1961 with Greek and Egyptian Migrants at Station Pier Port Melbourne.

Tony Agapitos was a Greek immigrant and filmmaker who documented life in Melbourne's Greek community from the 1950s to the 70s.

Tony’s personal footage was shown in a documentary about the history of Station and Princes Piers in Port Melbourne, as part of a restoration celebration in 2012.

Princes Pier in particular played a key role in Australia’s wartime and multicultural history as the first landing in Australia for thousands of post war migrants.

Tony’s films capture the pathos of the new arrivals; they are beautiful and emotionally powerful evocations of the experience.
