The third volume of a new trilogy titled A Τrilogy of Greek Voices in Australia, by Professor Anastassios Tamis was presented in Canberra a few days ago.

The last volume, titled Constantinos Tsoulias (The Euzonos), centres on the life and work of father and son, Nikolaos and Constantinos Tsoulias, pioneers of Greek emigration to Australia. The first volume is dedicated to Zissis (Jack) Dardalis while the second, to Theophilos Efkarpidis (The Megas Pontios).

In this work, Professor Tamis -widely acclaimed for his extensive research in the Greek Diaspora in various parts of the world- sets out to portray the way his protagonistscombined their resources and socio-economic standing with their involvement in communal affairs in order to benefit the Greek community and enhance the image of Hellenism in Australian society.
