'Golden Mountains'

A recent study from the University of NSW explains that there is change in the traditional motivations behind Chinese immigration to Australia. The study shows that Chinese immigrants now come to Australia for the pleasant climate and relaxed lifestyle, rather than the economic reasons which drove their ancestors to Australian shores.

In the past it was stories of gold and business opportunity which attracted the Chinese to NSW......interesting.....

Note to self (thinking out loud):
- Contact Chinese organisations, not only in NSW but Victoria, as the gold trail often lead close to the state border.

- The Stacker and Stewart Chinese immigration report stated that there were some legal challenges made to the restrictions on Chinese immigration by Chinese immigrants already settled in NSW. Does this mean these people would have come during the gold rush then experienced a crack down on their fellow Chinese attempting to get into the country?

-An individual who arrived for the gold rush and lived through the White Australia Policy would be an interesting subject for this article!!!! ......Epiphany...
