Australia is known for being a multicultural country with migrants across the globe making the 'Land Down Under' their new home. These communities began establishing their own community clubs in a unfamiliar land as a way of having a ‘home away from home’, keeping their culture, language and people together.
This interview is the next instalment in the Future of Ethnic Clubs in Queensland series. 4ZZZ’s Toni Pankaluic previously covered a European club – Milton’s Polish Club and now he interviews another ethnic club in the same suburb, but with roots in Western Asia.
Speaking with Mohammadreza Shama, President of the Iranian Society of Queensland, listeners will gain a new perspective about Persian culture in Queensland and Iran as well as exploring the club's past, present and future!
