Slide - DIGGERS & MINING. THE CHINESE ON THE GOLD FIELDS

Physical description

Diggers & Mining. The Chinese on the Gold Fields. Slide: Many Chinese took up other occupations; some became successful market gardeners, fishermen, laundrymen, cooks, and sellers of tea and sugar (till near the end of the 19th century, both these commodities came from China). In Melbourne, they made fine cabinet makers; the first successful tobacco growers in Victoria were Chinese in the Ovens Valley. Markings: 12. Used as a teaching aid.
