====Australia Background==== | |||
*The first group of Finnish immigrants who arrived in Australia came to work in the '''gold mines of Victoria''' in the 1850s. | |||
*Many Finnish immigrants began arriving in Australia between 1947 and 1971. When these new immigrants came to Australia, they were taken to refugee camps and given free room and board until the head of the family was assigned his first job. The largest and best-known of these camps was '''Bonegilla'''. Most of these Finns began their new lives in Bonegilla during this period. | |||
*Finns were particularly attracted by the income from the sugar cane fields and mining in '''Mount Isa, in north Queensland'''. As a result, Mount Isa has one of the largest Finnish communities in Australia.<ref>"Finnish Australians", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finnish_Australians, 27 April 2021.</ref> | |||
