Ashgrove Historical Society: Queensland's Sugar King

Impoverished Maltese emigrants Paul and Pauline Zammit arrived in Australia pre-WWI to settle at Bartle Frere as pioneers of Queensland’s sugar industry. Against impossible odds, they raised ten talented children who performed musical concerts to benefit a range of charities and community services.  Catherine Smith has thoroughly researched this previously untold part of Queensland’s migrant history. It is an extraordinary ‘rags to riches’ story.
