Short description
-
Matina was born in 1935 into a poor family in a Peloponnesian village near Tripoli and Sparta. As the family could not afford a dowry, Matina was sponsored by a distant relative called Yannis to come to Sydney. She married Yannis, a photographer, with whom she set up a photography business. Aside from raising a family, first in Redfern and then Kingsgrove, she was also a member of a women’s charity focusing on relief work for Greeks, both in Australia and in Greece.
