History Festival : The ALA Presents the History of the Lebanese Community in South Australia

The Australian Lebanese Association proudly presents the past, present and future of the Lebanese Diaspora in South Australia. A history that began in the 1880s when our pioneering forefathers explored and opened up agricultural activities in the Flinders Ranges, the Riverland and the South East. The exhibition will present the growth of these early immigrants into the business and professional lives of their descendants. The exhibition will include the famous works and life of the celebrated Khalil Gibran, poet, artist and author of The Prophet. Audio/visual presentations of Lebanon can be enjoyed with a traditional coffee and sweet delicacy.
