Cambodians

Cambodians began coming to Australian in the 1970s, after the fall of their country's genocidal Khmer Rouge regime. A large part of the existing community arrived in the 1980s as refugees or as family reunion migrants. Most Cambodian Sydneysiders live in the Fairfield area, and community life centres on the Khmer temples found there and on the commercial and cultural centre of Cabramatta.
