Connoisseurs of coffee can raise their cups to James Gobbo. His Italian parents brought one of the first (he reckons the first) espresso machines to Australia when they opened a restaurant in front of the Melbourne fruit markets in 1938.

Poor and relatively unskilled, the likes of Gobbo's entrepreneurial parents would be turned away under today's skills-slanted immigration regime. But they contributed a great deal to Australia just the same: cappuccino culture, and a bilingual son who studied at Oxford, became a Supreme Court judge, was knighted for his services to the community and served as governor of Victoria.
