swissinfoch Reporter Visits Hepburn Springs

Earlier in 2009 Luigi Jorio visited Hepburn Springs to report on Swiss-Italian migration to Hepburn Springs, Victoria, Australia for www.swissinfo.ch and how this history is celebrated annually by our very own Swiss (and) Italian Festa www.swissitalianfesta.com.

www.swissinfo.ch is the Swiss news and information online channel and they have an online research project called "We shall not stay long" - The story of Swiss-Italian Migrations.

This article features a photo from the parade and interviews with locals.

Why not visit the swissinfo.ch site and learn more about the colourful history of migration from Switzerland and Italy behind this festa.
