Lemin, Jean Cooranbong NSW “Lamingtons” The artist and her husband, both nurses, migrated to Australia from the United Kingdom in 1978 with their two sons. The artist had worked in Ethiopia for four years in the 1950s before her marriage, and returned for a further period as a missionary nurse with her husband after their marriage. “My husband tells the story that we came to Australia because of Lamingtons. It goes like this: ID026 “We were living in Liverpool, England, and we were invited to a doctor’s house for tea one Sunday afternoon in 1975. The couple were both Australian doctors and had children about the same age as ours. Part of the tea included these delicious chocolate and coconut covered sponge-like cakes. [My husband] asked what they were and our hostess was surprised that we did not know they were Lamingtons. ‘Well’, he said, ‘I will come to tea every Sunday for these.’ ‘No you won’t,’ she said. ‘You will have to come to Australia before you get these again.’ Three years later we were in Australia and we just love it and our sons think it was the best thing we ever did for them. And yes, our hostess in Liverpool did give us Lamingtons when we visited them in Sydney after we had migrated to Australia.” IID027 Lever, Leonie Keiraville NSW The artist was born in Wollongong where she works as a Geography teacher. “Wollongong has become a very multicultural city due to many migrant coming to Australia to work in the steelworks at Port Kembla… I have studied and travelled to many countries around the world but I think Australia is still the best place in the world to live.” ID022
