Kathy Papas, who lives in Sydney, Australia, talks about her family life.

"My parents came here from the Greek island of Kalymnos in 1965. I was eight years old, the eldest of four children. We shared a house with three other families from Kalymnos when we arrived in Sydney. We were quite lucky - both my parents found jobs and after about twenty months here they bought a house. But life wasn't easy for my parents. Language was a real problem and they never really settled down here. They missed their freinds back home, Greek hospitality in general, and the closeness to nature they had on the island. In 1980, they moved back to Greece and my father died five years later.

My husband and I socialise almost entirely with our families - his sister and my brothers and their children - other Greek Australians. We meet in each other's homes and sometimes we have a barbecue together. Most Greeks live in the suburbs to the east of Sydney, so we don't have far to travel to see each other.

We also send our three daughters to Greek classes twice a week after regular classes. They were all born here, but a lot of Australians still tend to think of them as foreigners. This is perhaps the reason that we Greek-Australians stay together like a big family."
