Wagga Wagga controversy: welcome back
Posted byDon't worry too much about a few people's misguided thoughts. There are many historic sites and parks established across Australia as signs of respect for Chinese involvement in our history. Google Chinamans well, a historis site in South Australia, where Chinese boats came ashore - they cut a well into the limestone to draw fresh water for their cross country journey to Ballarat in the 1851 gold rush. There is a much smaller town than Wagga called Young and they have a lovely Chinese garden as a tribute to the many Chinese that came to look for gold there. A lot of Australians have a lot of respect for the Chinese. Sadly, our politicians don't know the people well enough and it seems that we don't know our politicians well enough either. I was in the lockdown in Kunming, now I'm in the lockdown in Sydney. I felt much safer in China.
