This paper discusses the origins of the emigration to Australia from a small and enclosed Swiss valley, the Poschiavo Valley in Canton Grigioni (the Grisons), in the 1850s. It argues that those left at home were a part of the same migration experience, and seeks, through the pages of a local newspaper, to direct attention to the question of how those emigrations were felt in home communities. It suggests that the emigration flow, although numerically small, and acknowledged as a necessity for survival, was traumatic, because the emigrants went beyond the recognised world of the Poschiavini, and threatened disintegration of traditional life and values.
