Biographies
First Greeks in Australia
On the Norfolk were several men who had been convicted of piracy. They were tried in Malta in 1828 and sentenced to transportation - Ghicas Bulgaris, Damianos Ninis, Nicholas Papendross, Costanios Strombolis, Androni Tumalonis, Jorgles Vassilochis and Androni Tu Malonis. These were the first Greek immigrants, albeit unwilling to Australia. In a despatch dated 8th July 1836, they were granted Absolute Pardons and were free to return to Greece if they wished.
