it really depends on which area you're in.

wheres melbourne???

Dunno!!

There are lots of Asian people in every city of Australia. There are lots of different cultures. They mostly stick to their own suburbs. Australia is multicultural and proud of it! We have great restaurants.

in the central city, yes there's a lot. i'm not sure why, but my guess is a) tourists (hence in the city) b) university you'll mostly see them in the city (except like, st albans or springvale)

As a whole, there are only 16.18% Asians in Melbourne. However, in some suburbs, there could be up to 40% Asians. 1) "Melbourne is a diverse and multicultural city and melting pot. Almost a quarter of Victoria's population was born overseas, and the city is home to residents from 233 countries, who speak over 180 languages and dialects and follow 116 religious faiths. Melbourne has the second largest Asian population in Australia, which includes the largest Vietnamese, Indian and Sri Lankan communities in the country." "Melbourne exceeds the national average in terms of proportion of residents born overseas: 34.8% compared to a national average of 23.1%. In concordance with national data, Britain is the most commonly reported country of birth, with 4.7 %, followed by Italy (2.4%), Greece (1.9 %) and then China (1.3 %). Melbourne also features substantial Vietnamese, Indian and Sri Lankan-born communities, in addition to recent South African and Sudanese influxes."

The cities of Dandenong, Monash, Casey and Whittlesea on Melbourne's fringe are particular current migrant hotspots."

Yeah, there's a ton of them.

Not mostly, there are all types of people!

melbourne has more than 3 really large unis in the city centre with up to 40 percent of some courses being international students (from mostly asia!!!). Most live in the city cause their parents are rich...hence heaps of asians in city centre. I think from memory that we have the second largest international student population of a city in the world, just under boston
