Summary
"Between 1863 and 1904 an estimated 55,000 to 62,500 South Sea Islanders were recruited to work in Queensland, mostly as rural labourers, and the Gold Coast was an important early centre of work and settlement for them. On this map are some of the main places where South Sea Islanders were located within the Gold Coast region."--Rains, K., Journeys to Sugaropolis: the Australian South Sea Islander story of the Gold Coast region, 2013Map of area between the Logan River, Queensland; and the Tweed River, New South Wales; drawn by hand.
