In 1957 Croatian refugees Gina Sinozich, her husband Eugen and their two children Vladimiro and Eugenia left the Italian port of Genoa on board SS NEPTUNIA to travel to Melbourne, Australia. Gina was happy to leave Italy, having waited 18 months in a refugee camp for her official papers to be processed. This is one of a series of 14 paintings by the 73 year old artist documenting her personal experience as a Croatian migrant travelling to Australia.
