At the end of 1901, when the Immigration Restriction Act barred further migration, there were 2,500 living in Melbourne. In May they built their own celebratory archway, one of many to grace the main city intersections to mark the opening of the Australia's first national Parliament and as a welcome to the royal visitors.
