Darwin is a cosmopolitan city, with a substantial Chinese population that at one point (the 1870s) even outnumbered its European population. “Coolies” were contracted to work in the goldfields and build railways; by the end of the 19th century, the Chinese population of the Territory was approximately six thousand. Currently, the Chinese population of Darwin sits at around 3,500 people, and Chinese Temple and Museum Chung Wah is one of the thriving focal points of the community.
