It's hard to imagine the absence of Chinese food in Australian society. Brisbane has its own bustling Chinatown packed with eating places and even in the smallest outback towns you will find a Chinese restaurant, such is our love of the country's food.

It was this fact that inspired Pamela See, a first-generation Australian of Chinese descent, to create an installation that pays homage to the contribution of Chinese people to Australia, both now and when they first arrived in north Queensland during the gold rush in the late 1800s.
