Abstract: With 175,000 people of Maltese descent living in Australia as of 2016, the Antipodes today remain one of the largest centres of Maltese expatriates on the planet. Indeed the large scale movement of Maltese immigrants into Australia can be traced back to 1949, when the Maltese people were granted the possibility of travelling to Australia as part of the 'assisted passage' scheme. This is not to say, however, that before 1949 there had been no efforts to get from Malta to Australia. On the contrary, in fact, the early history of Maltese migration to Australia has produced some of the most intriguing and fascinating tales of Malta's immigration history as a whole.
