Abstract:
Between 1938 and 1948 around 4,000 Austrians fled to Australia. The Austrian exiles were politically and ideologically heterogeneous and mainly settled in the cities. This paper focuses on the cultural transfer between the two countries. Refugees from the field of puppet theatre and architecture are examples of how Austrian cultural traditions and professional knowledge were brought to Australia and were adapted to local traditions and structures. The paper also traces the references back to Austria.
