Chinese monument at Robe, South Australia

[geoff]

There's a chinese monument at Robe in South Australia..........

near the Customs House is a monument to the Chinese: 'During the years 1856-58 16,500 Chinese landed near this spot and walked 200 miles to Ballarat and Bendigo in search of gold.'

Does anyone have a photo, inscription on the monument or any other history of this monument to the Chinese that disembarked at Robe in their quest for the New Gold Mountain?
