From Aley to Australia
Al Baydar magazine was a successful Lebanese publication, published by the writer William Saab, from the early 1900s to the 1960s.
In the issue displayed here (1960), are some of the articles submitted to the magazine by Mr Fayez Charefeddine (known as Fred Dean in Australia).
Fayez Charafeddine migrated from Aley, Lebanon to Adelaide, Australia in the 1950s, settling first in Renmark.
In the article, he mentions the fond memories of the snow, the cedars and Lebanon’s magnificent scenery and natural environment.
