At the turn of the twentieth century, Croatians were migrating from Dalmatia, then part of the Austro- Hungarian Empire, and Maori, having become part of the British Empire, were losing much of their land. All were looking for work. They came together on the gumfields of the far north, digging up kauri gum resin for export.
