Elizabeth Chong's Great Australian Life

Laura Turner chats with Elizabeth Chong AM, who just received Queen's Birthday honours for her service to hospitality and the Chinese community in Melbourne. Elizabeth's story and that of her family is quite remarkable. She was born in China after her mother was ordered to leave Australian under the White Australia Policy, but returned as a young child. She's arguably the first ever 'celebrity chef' in Australian and was the first person to open a Chinese cooking school in Melbourne.   To see videos of our guests head to the Tobin Brothers Funerals Facebook page. Great Australian Lives is produced by Jane Nield.
