Australian Government poster - "Australia: land of Tomorrow". This poster was displayed between 1949 and 1951 in reception rooms and dining halls at various migrant reception centers in Australia. It was placed to introduce and entice newcomers to Australia. The creator of this colourful and light-hearted poster, Joe Greenberg, was told later by a Czech migrant that it had been displayed in all the migrant camps in Europe, and had influenced him to come to Australia.

L'immigration est une composante essentielle de l'Histoire de l'Australie. Nous vous la racontons en cinq épisodes. Dans ce troisième volet, nous évoquons l'après Seconde guerre mondiale, et notamment la politique "peupler ou périr", qui va changer profondément la démographie australienne.
