Migrants arriving in Sydney

Meet this group of people.

David Moore took this photograph in 1966. It shows people arriving in Sydney. He has focused our attention on a close-up of the people so we can imagine how they are feeling.

Look at their faces. Do you think they are excited?

Imagine you are one of the passengers. What part of Sydney can you see?

Write a postcard to a friend about your impressions of Sydney. Hint: if you’d like to print the image only, right-click on it and select save, then print it.
