The main reason why the Chinese settled in Australia was because of the goldrushes. Huge numbers of Chinese arrived in Australia during the 1850s, through to the 1880s. The Chinese were hard-working folk, and those who did not make their fortune on the goldfields often chose to establish businesses in the towns, opting to stay on when their countrymen returned to China.
