Buddhism in Australia
pp. 9-18
Abstract
On the northern shores of Australia there are two stands of banyan trees, a legacy of the early Buddhists in Australia which serves as a reminder of the past for future generations. Sinhalese cane cutters who had arrived in Mackay to angry racist protests and hard labour in the cane fields during the 1870-80s found solace and a compatriot community with pearlers on Thursday Island.
