= "Immigration is a vital feature of Australia's history and national identity" - Museums Board of Victoria = =European Migration to Melbourne= Welcome to Giselle’s and Scott’s Wiki about European migrations. The aim of this wiki is to show you some of the specific CBD landmarks where the European cultures are located, and the history of the people who came from those countries, but we will also be looking at the Chinese immigration history. The word immigration comes from the Latin language immigrare. Immigration is to enter and settle in a country or region that one is not native. Between 1986 and 1991, Melbourne had approximately 105,000 migrants. Today, Melbourne has a population of 220,000 settlers. Some of the reasons why people began to come to Australia were: The Gold Rush, World War II, the creation of semi-skilled and unskilled jobs and the Industrial Development throughout Australia. In specific, the Gold Rush caused the population of Melbourne to increase tremendously from 77,000 to 340,000 people.
