Description:
The discovery of gold near Charters Towers in 1872 and on the Palmer River in 1873 resulted in about 22,000 Chinese arriving in Cooktown between 1875 and 1877. Many Chinese people took up occupations as providers of basic services in these centres and maintained their links with Cooktown Chinese. They leased land on which they grew fruit and vegetables, they supplied fish, and from the mid-1880s they became significant players in the commerce and agriculture of the region.
