A Charles Sturt University (CSU) PhD student will deliver a public presentation on the history of the Chinese population in Bathurst between the 1850s and the 1950s, on Saturday 18 April. Ms Juanita Kwok, a PhD candidate with the CSU School of Communications and Creative Industries in Bathurst, will talk about her research, with a particular focus on the Chinese market gardeners of Bathurst. "The Chinese population of the Bathurst region was larger and more enduring than many people realise," Ms Kwok said. "The Chinese made significant contributions to the establishment of the Bathurst community and its evolving economy." The talk will follow the Family History Group meeting in the Bathurst Library Meeting Room in Keppel Street, Bathurst, at 2pm Saturday 18 April. Join in to find out more about this little known aspect of Bathurst's history.
