Best Answer

The Chinese primarily came to Australia because of the goldrushes. The Australian goldrush started in the 1850s, and it was then that large numbers of Chinese began immigrating to Australia, to Melbourne and Sydney first, then out to the goldfields. In many gold boom towns, once the gold ran out, the Chinese who did not return to their homeland went into business in the local towns.
