23. Tung Wah News

The Tung Wah News was one of a number of Chinese language newspapers published in Sydney and Melbourne from the late 19th century well into the 20th century. This is an in-depth look at just one of these newspapers over a brief period around 1900 that gives us an insight into the concerns of the Chinese Australian community at this time.
