Coming to Australia after spending more than 5 years in a refugee camp in Hong Kong, Anh Tran, a mother of two who runs her own business in financial field, arrived to Sydney Airport in 1991 with six members of her family.

Recalling the first day in Australia #FirstDaySBS, Ms Tran said she could “catch a whiff of green grass in the air” when she took a deep breath of the pure and freshness of the new country’s atmosphere and felt “peaceful” and “secure” as ‘home’.
