Book excerpt: In the late 1850s and early 1860s more than 16,000 Chinese landed at Robe on the Limestone Coast of South Australia on their way to Victorian goldfields, in what has been described as one of the most remarkable treks in human history. This book tells the story of why and how they came to Australia, and the remarkable scenes their arrival triggered in a small isolated port on the outer edge of the British Empire.
