Transcript
Melbourne’s first Chinese Temple opened in 1866. Temples, or ‘Joss Houses’, sprung up across the colony as Chinese communities fanned out across the diggings. As quickly, most closed as diggings were worked out and miners sought fresh ground or returned to China. The Melbourne Temple, established by the See Yup Society at Emerald Hill (now South Melbourne), was one that endured into the twenty-first century.
