Worry Beads

Greek immigration to Australia has been one of the largest migratory flows in the history of Australia, especially after World War II and the Greek Civil War with many early arrivals starting iconic businesses in what was then considered the working class areas of inner city suburbs such as Collingwood, Carlton, Fitzroy and Richmond.

Worry beads are a symbol of contemplation and directed thought and like all the elements of Trove reference the rich diversity of cultures and communities that are integral to the historical and present vibrant fabric of Collingwood.
