Beau1770 was the year in which James Cook sailed up the eastern coast, becoming the first European to chart the area. Prior to Cook, all reports on the Australian continent had been negative, coming as they did from Dutch explorers and one Englishman, William Dampier, who had explored parts of the western coast, which is much drier than the east. Cook saw the potential of the fertile eastern coast, and recommended the continent for colonisation by England.

Why did the Chinese migrate to Australia?
The main reason why the Chinese settled in Australia was because of the goldrushes. Huge numbers of Chinese arrived in Australia during the 1850s, through to the 1880s. The Chinese were hard-working folk, and those who did not make their fortune on the goldfields often chose to establish businesses in the towns, opting to stay on when their countrymen returned to China.
