    Abstract

    This paper explores the migration experience of the 160,000 Dutch who came to Australia following the close of the Second World War. It looks at how local, national and global influences and social, cultural and economic policies of the day in the Netherlands and Australia, shaped their expectations of the new land and assesses the extent to which their expectations matched the reality of their experience.
