Community stories

Many of Blacktown’s Sudanese migrants are newly-arrived refugees from war-torn southern Sudan. This is their story.

Here you can see and hear how people escaped and lived, often for many years, in refugee camps, prior to their new life in Australia.

We thank the community participants for sharing their poignant memories and stories of resilience which have made this project possible.
