The Riverina, in southern New South Wales, is now taking in more refugees than ever with more Yazidi families arriving this week as they flee from I-S. Some 3,000 asylum seekers - from countries including Myanmar, South Sudan, Afghanistan and Iraq - have already built new lives there. As part of a special series this week, SBS visits some of the communities - old and new - to see how they're settling in.
