Assyrians in Australia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Assyrians in Australia live mainly in the state of New South Wales. According to 2001 census, there are 24,000 Assyrians in Australia and are evenly split religiously between Chaldean Catholic and Church of the East. [1]
Like many other ethnic groups in Australia, the Assyrians has had many negative incidents and events that has haunted the community. This is unusual when comparing to Assyrian communities of other diaspora Assyrians. On September 8, 2003, an Assyrian picnic degenerated into a wild brawl when up to 50 people became involved in a fight at a park in Sydney's Blaxland Crossing Reserve, in Wallacia. [2]
