The [[Australian gold rushes|Gold rushes]] lured many Chinese to the [[Australian colonies]] in the 19th century. As with many overseas Chinese groups the world over, early Chinese immigrants to Australia established several [[Chinatown]]s in major cities, such as [[Sydney]] ([[Chinatown, Sydney]]), [[Melbourne]] ([[Chinatown, Melbourne]]), [[Brisbane]] ([[Chinatown, Brisbane]]) and [[Perth]] ([[Chinatown, Perth]]). In the [[States and territories of Australia#States and territories|Australian external territory]] of [[Christmas Island]], Australians of full or partial Chinese origin form the majority of the population.
