By examining the history of Chinese immigration to Australia, and observing the impact of that relationship on the communities of the past and present, students can gain an understanding of the history of migration that makes us the multicultural Australia of today.
On this excursion participants take a journey to Sydney’s Chinatown at Haymarket and explore the Chinese Garden of Friendship.
