Abstract
Ethnic diversity has always been part of Sydney's socio-cultural composition. Alexakis and Janiszewski indicate that Greeks were present from the early 1800s and that their economic and social contribution to Sydney has been quite varied. Their impact on food and catering was particularly significant, and laid the foundations of the 'quintessentially Australian', country town Greek cafe.
