European migrants: Wellington Greek community (5 o 6)

European migrants: Wellington Greek community

This 1928 gathering of Mr Mastrogeorgiou and friends, complete with guitar, violin, mandolin and appreciative audience, took place in one of the first Greek enclaves in New Zealand: the Wellington suburb of Mt Victoria. A decade later the first Greek school teaching the language and customs would open in the same area. Until the late 20th century Mt Victoria remained a Greek heartland.
