Camden Chinese Market Gardeners

This article examines the story of Chinese market gardeners who pioneered intensive horticulture on the Nepean River floodplain at Camden NSW. Their stories have fallen into the shadows of history, and this brief article attempts to resurrect their contribution to Australian agricultural history, the local economy and inter-racial relations. This article is found in History, the Royal Australian Historical Society magazine.
