George Williams Hotel, Brisbane
Thurs 27 to Sun 30 November
Join us for this year’s conference, which highlights the role of relationships in shaping the lives of Chinese Australasians as well as the world around them. Chinese people have been migrating to Australasia from the 19th century to today. They and their descendants had relationships with each other as well as non-Chinese people.
