Subject: [AUS-VIC-GIPPSLAND-L] Chin Char's Hotel

Hello Dianne
Why was Chin Char's hotel of special significance to Chinese miners?
>From our research, the Chinese were most unwelcome in hotels, or in
most places mixing with Europeans, and frequently were subjected to
various forms of harassment when they did so - there are numerous
references to beatings and assaults, as at Toongabbie, and at Fulham
near Sale.

Was Chin Char Chinese???
