Geelong also has a street named after Kaunas city in its Bell Park suburb. That suburb has been developed after World War 2, at the time immigrants were arriving there from Europe. There are thus streets with names reminding of their homelands: next to Kaunas street, there is Libau street (named after the Latvian city of Liepaja), Tallinn street (named after the Estonian capital), Vistula street (named after Poland's largest river).

A very interesting and informative presentation. Learnt so much. Very clever and dedicated researchers.
If you get a chance to go, you will be delighted. Good to see what other Lithuanians have done or doing to preserve their cultural identity.
Thank you to all involved in organising the Geelong event.

Thank you very much for accepting us! The Geelong article will be expanded later using the new pictures we took, as well as information we gathered. This will happen after our Australia field trip ends, though.
