Abstract
This paper is an examination of the Greek-Cypriot migration to South Australia and the
importance of oral history. It is based on interviews conducted on the Greek-Cypriot
migrant population with first hand experiences. Furthermore, the paper looks at the
meaning of oral history and puts theory into practice. The main method for researching
this paper involved collecting information through interviews conducted with
individuals and established groups, in South Australia. The paper will analyse the social
cohesion and the activities these migrants and established groups had undertaken for
successful survival in an Anglo society
