Unlike most of Ausalia's other states, it was not gold that attracted immigrants to South Australians in their thousands. It was copper. Copper mining was a most lucrative prospect in the nineteenth century.

Italian migrants arrived soon after the First Fleet.
Hundreds of thousands of immigrants came to Australia for the goldrushes in the mid 1800s. At the beginning of the goldrush, in 1851, Australia's population was about 430,000. Twenty years later, in 1871, the population had trebled to 1.7 million. This was an increase of 1.27 million.
When the Snowy Mountains Hydroelectric Scheme was begun, it required more manpower than Australia could offer, especially people with particular skills and training. The Scheme attracted tens of thousands of skilled immigrants, resulting in not only an increase in Australia's population, but in its cultural diversity. These migrants were happy to come to Australia as their own countries were suffering post-war economic depression, and Australia offered new opportunities for them.

There were two main reasons why Italian migrants came to Australia. One was for the agricultural industry, particularly the sugar cane industry of the northeastern coast. The Italians were excellent workers in this field. The other reason was that, in the 1950s, Australia's Snowy River Hydro-Electric Scheme attracted tens of thousands of overseas workers. They were attracted by the high pay, the freedoms available in Australia and the surety of employment in the post-war period.

The Philippines did not migrate to Australia. The islands of the Philippines are exactly where they have been for thousands of years, almost 3000km away from Australia.
