Diana and Nora oral history interview. Moreton Bay Our Story, accessed 12/11/2026, https://ourstory.moretonbay.qld.gov.au/nodes/view/26725
I had to call my sister but because of the difference in time it was really at night, Australian time and I called her and she is like 'what's going on?' 'Are you safe?' Is Mum OK? Do you need anything?' I was like we're fine, we just got the visa...and she started crying. - Diana
I was happy, crying, shaking and mixed feelings, so it was amazing when they say yes we are coming. - Nora
Sisters, Diana and Nora came to Australia from Syria separately after years of separation due to the war.
We respectfully acknowledge the Traditional Country across our region. We also acknowledge and pay our respects
to the Kabi Kabi, Jinibara and Turrbal Traditional Custodians, and their elders past, present and emerging.
