Back Roads on ABC and ABC iview S11E18 – Lisa Millar visits the small town of Harvey in Western Australia, where waves of migrants built a thriving produce industry and a community that’s in perfect harmony.
Lisa Millar visits Harvey in Western Australia’s southwest and discovers how successive waves of migrants have put their stamp on this town, and in doing so have built a thriving multicultural community.
Lisa discovers that this harmony didn’t come easily initially, with many Italian migrants interned as “enemy aliens” during World War II.
She meets the latest arrivals, the Filipinos and Pacific Islanders, who’ve brought their own agricultural skills to the town famous for its fresh produce. Lisa can’t wait to kick off her shoes and get stuck into a time honoured tradition at Harvey’s annual Harvest Festival.
