Description from source
Personal papers: Two notebooks of photographs, drawings and poems by Vida Likic.

Vida and Jean Likic lived in Paris until they migrated to Australia with their young daughter, Tamara, in 1959. They arrived on the ship Aurelia and settled in Brisbane. Jean, a sculptor, won the prestigious Mildura prize for sculpture in 1961, while Vida wrote poetry. The family went to Europe for a holiday in 1964, but were unable to return to Australia because of a bureaucratic mishandling of their travel documents in Croatia.
