Answer 2

When my uncle arrived in Sydney in 1946 as a 8 year old student, Australia's Immigration Policy was under the White Australia legislation which was passed by the Australian Commonwealth Parliament in 1901. Chinese from China began arriving into Melbourne and Sydney in the 1850's and by 1861 there were 38 300 Chinese Males in Australia and eleven Chinese Females. California, USA was known as the Old Gold Mountain and Australia became to be known as the New Gold Mountain. However, in 1861 in the gold mining town of Lambing Flat a Riot took place against the Chinese miners and the Anti-Chinese movement continued in other mining places throughout the States of Victoria and New South Wales. In 1901 the White Australia Policy was adopted. In 1901 the Chinese male population in Australia was 32 700 and 474 Chinese females. In 1946 when I arrived in Sydney there were about 12 000 Chinese males and about 2 500 Chinese females in Australia. After the gold rush period in the 1880s most of the Chinese miners went into business in the local towns and gradually many who were able to save enough money were allowed to sponsor their wife and son or sons. They had to survive under the restrictive Immigration Policy. Many became outstanding citizens and played important commercial roles in the Community.
