Midnight Sun - Book 2

Those who go and those who stay; My grandfather, W.A. Back was the Migrant Made Good. He developed much of Mullumbimby and St Lucia 'Coronation Park Estate', site of University of Queensland, and built a pastoral empire in W Queensland. In 1920, he was joined in Australia by sister Anna Sanna, husband Erik Johan Holm and 6 children. My crash course in Finnish history enlightens what part our northern family played in the battles to gain Finnish independence from Russian occupation.
