Based on up to now unused and confidential archival documents the history of Czech and Slovak exile in Western Australia in the years 1968–1989 is discussed. Attention is paid to the complex problem of relations between the post-February exile and that after August 1968, to the foundation of the Czechoslovak Association in Western Australia, to the contacts with other exile centers in Australia, the foundation of the Society of Science and Arts in Perth, and to the leading exile personalities, namely Josef Kučík and Petr Hrubý.

The Czechs and Slovaks who immigrated into Australia after the Second World War in several exile waves created several autonomous centers of Czechoslovak community in exile. The study goes into the history of amateur theatricals in Australia from 1948 to 1989, namely in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Canberra, and Perth. Theater played an important role in their life in exile because of social, linguistic and patriotic reasons. The literary and artistic orientation of particular theatrical groups and their evolution from the early 1950s to 1980s are analyzed. The analysis includes also the discussions on the character of theatrical activities between the post-February and the post-August waves of immigrants where the traditional patriotic view of theater was confronted with the new and modern forms of theatrical art.

The number of Czech and Slovak post-February (1948) exiles in Australia, according to the Australian national census of 1954, amounted to some 10 to 12 thousand people referred to as displaced persons. The rather high number was mainly due to the fact that Australia offered the shortest repatriation waiting time and, at least at the turn of the 1940s, actively fostered immigration from Europe. For that purpose the Australian government launched a media campaign that found its echo primarily in the refugee camps in Germany and Austria. The group of Czech post-February (1948) exiles, numbering some 400-500 persons in the 1950s, was developing rather separately (perhaps even in voluntary isolation) from the main exile centers. The above group in Australian exile faced many personal, collective, organizational, financial and political controversies and problems. In the fall of 1969 the first stage of Czech and Slovak emigration to Western Australia was closed and another stage started in connection with the new wave of post-August (1968) exiles.
