Why did Italians first immigrate to Australia?

There are several reason why Italians migrated to Australia, beginning from before the gold rushes in the mid-1800s to after World War II.The gold rushes attracted migrants from around the world, including Italy.In the early years, many Italians feared persecution from Austrian (not Australian) authorities because Austria had control of many of the northern regions of Italy until around 1860.Australia offered new freedoms, especially religious and political.Australia offered new employment opportunities, in both the farming and agricultural sectors (especially sugar cane farming) and in the professional sectors as well. Their economic prospects in Australia were brighter than they were in their homeland.Italy faced an economic crisis in the 1880s, so this led many to seek a better life overseas.Italians were better able to handle Australia's harsh climate than the English were, so Australia was promoted more to them as a new land with new opportunities.


When did Italians come to Cairns Australia?

Italians have been coming to Australia since before WW2 but started to arrive here in large numbers after WW2 as a result of the refugee situation there and the need in Australia for migrants to work on the new infrastructure and industrial project that were developing. To answer the question, the first Italians arrived in the Cairns district in 1891. 45 Italian workers arrived in Townsville, north Queensland and walked to Cairns in search of work. Many of them were taken on by agricultural scientists Dr Thomatis, who leased 1000 acres in the Freshwater-Barron area, now called Caravonica.
