Chinese miners primarily traveled to Australia during the gold rush in the mid-19th century by sea. They embarked on long voyages from ports in southern China, such as Canton (now Guangzhou), boarding ships that took them to Australian ports like Melbourne and Sydney. Many faced challenging conditions during the journey, including overcrowding and disease, but the promise of gold and better opportunities motivated their perilous journeys. Once in Australia, they often traveled overland to reach goldfields, facing both physical hardships and discrimination.
