There was only one way for the Chinese people to come to Australia in the 1800s, and that was by boats. Huge numbers of Chinese arrived in Australia during the 1850s, through to the 1880s, because of the goldrushes in Australia. 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.
