China China's national flag was adopted in September, 1949. This flag was first flown in Tiananmen Square on October 1, 1949 - the day of the founding of the People's Republic of China. The rectangular flag has a red field with five golden-yellow stars (each with five points) in the upper left corner. The star on the left is larger than the other four. The red color of the flag symbolizes revolution. The large star symbolizes the Communist Party (which rules China) and the smaller stars represent the people of China.

 The Chinese primarily came to Australia because of the goldrushes. The Australian goldrush started in the 1850s, and it was then that large numbers of Chinese began immigrating to Australia, to Melbourne and Sydney first, then out to the goldfields. In many gold boom towns, once the gold ran out, the Chinese who did not return to their homeland went into business in the local towns.
