Christos Malamidis was born into a Greece still bearing the scars of war, occupation, and civil strife. At barely 18 years old, he made the bold decision to board the M.S. “Anna Salen” and embark on a journey to an unfamiliar world—Australia. In this distant land, he endured gruelling hours of hard labour in car factories and construction sites. Yet, it was also here, in the fifth continent, that he built the family who brought him the peace and fulfilment he had always yearned for.
The tireless Greek passed away on 22/08/2024.
