They were often referred to as Celestials, based on the Chinese name for their country, the Celestial Empire.
The Chinese were attracted to Australia because of the gold rush.
Chinese immigrants came to America mainly in the 19th century to seek economic opportunities during the California Gold Rush and help build the transcontinental railroad. They also faced hardships and discrimination in China, and saw America as a place to start anew and build a better life for themselves and their families.
So they could get gold from the gold rush.
