Gold Rush, Chinese Immigration
The gold rush in Australia provided a great opportunity for the Chinese people to temporarily move out, search for gold and to make some money. The Chinese brought many of their foods and ingredients with them, but this was apparent when the fields slowly ran out of gold. To gain more money the people decided to open stores and bring in their own produce. -

Fast, Avaliable Travel = Bigger Culture
Beacuse travelling to Australia was easier and more convinient this meant that lots of people came to Australia and invested their culture of food.

My Food Habits
Ever since I was younger I have had a strange addiction to salad. Any type of salad which doesn't include seafood I've tried it and most likely enjoyed it. It affects my lifestyle in that sometimes I'm defficient in certain things because it's not that I don't eat meat it's that I would choose salad over meat. I think the habit began when I was in about year 3. I had quite a bad self-esteem and I decided to take this crazy diet which was only eating salad, even though I hated it at the time.
