David Moore captured this photograph of passengers on the liner GALILEO GALILE during the peak of immigration from Europe to Australia. Moore was on assignment for 'National Geographic' and later said of this image: 'Apprehension, doubt, excitement and even a little fear were expressed in the faces of passengers coming to a new land. Then the woman in the centre of the picture recognised a familiar face. Her joy was obvious as she raised an outstretched hand, unwittingly creating the element that had been missing from the picture'.
