Case Study

Jim Karas was born on the 7th of July 1949 in Kavala, Greece. The youngest of six children, Jim described his upbringing as ideal and he was very close to his parents and enjoyed school. At the age of 17, Jim met Amara and they married a year later. Jim’s father encouraged him to move to Australia to work for his uncle who had
emigrated 20 years previously.

Although somewhat reluctant, Jim thought Australia sounded exciting and thought it would be a great start for both he and Amara. Amara was not as keen to move but wanted to do what would make Jim happy. They arrived in Australia in 1969 and were excited to find they were expecting their first child (George was born in 1970, followed by a daughter Angela in 1971). Jim was overjoyed to be a father and while still working for his Uncle started to explore
the idea of starting his own smallgoods business. This happened quite quickly when a nearby shop became vacant. Jim wanted to work close to home as he was worried about Amara, since arriving in Australia she had only made a few friends in the Greek community and only spoke one or two words of English. Jim tried to encourage her to learn English but each time she became frustrated. Jim recalls that Amara cried frequently after the children were born – he felt it was because she was homesick.

While he was concerned about his wife, he felt that they needed to remain in Australia as his small business was becoming hugely successful, customers would travel long distances to buy his smallgoods. He worked hard, sometimes over 80 hours per week. He was well known in the community as a happy, hard-working and very likable man. His hospitality was well known and the family home was host to many memorable events and parties. Amara was an excellent cook and no-one ever went hungry, although she preferred to stay in the kitchen cooking and washing up, while Jim entertained the guests with his stories and singing.

Amara discovered in 1979 that she was pregnant again, although shocked she was excited; however the baby boy was stillborn at full term. Amara felt deep sadness and a sense of failure, she lost her appetite (and as a result lost a significant amount of weight) and started smoking heavily (60 cigarettes per day). She rarely left the house. Jim said little and instead worked harder and spent the remainder of his time in his shed, working on old cars. In 1990 after dropping out of university George decided to work for his father – for Jim this was a defining moment as he now had a family business – this had been his dream and to celebrate he had the front of the shop repainted with “Karas & Son Family Butchery”. Jim was content and his daughter completed her education and was awarded a Bachelor of Science and worked for a number of years as a research assistant. Angela started a family with her partner Clare. Angela gave birth to Thomas in 2005 and started to notice he was ‘different to other children’ at around the age of
two. Thomas was diagnosed with ASD. Clare left shortly after his diagnosis and returned to work in the west.
