The Association of Ukrainians in Tasmania began when the first immigrants arrived in the post World War Two era. The community grew in number and strength and before long, built community houses in Moonah (south) and St. Leonards (north).. There were many activities during the 1950's and 60's including Ukrainian School, dance troupes, PLAST (scouts) and regular church services. During the 1970's these activities decreased in number, and the community began to disperse. Despite these challenges, regular events such as Malanka (New Year) have always been held, and a new Hall has been built in Hobart. Since that time, a small, but passionate group of active Ukrainians has been making an effort to revive the now second and third generation's interest in Ukrainian language and culture. We welcome new members from Ukraine and interested members of the public to take part in our activities! We hope that the community will continue to grow in number and strength in coming years to keep our traditions alive. Thanks for your support! PAGE RULES:
