Darwin - Memorial Chapel beside the Chinese Temple. Northern Territory Australia

            This small chapel to the side of the main temple is a memorial where plaques for the deceased are placed. 

The Temple or Joss House is a Chinese place of worship. The Temple is named ‘All Holy Temple’ and a translation of the Chinese symbols over the entrance is, ‘The power of Almighty God reaches far and near’.
The plaque itself is a combination of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism.

Chinese who have settled in the Northern Territory have come from many different parts of the worlds and speak a variety of different dialects and language-not all of which can be understood by other people of Chinese descent.

Most of the nineteenth century settlers came from the delta area of southern China, the New Territories of Hong Kong and His Chiang River region in Kwantung province. They were mainly See Yup and Hakka speakers and some speakers of Heungsan and Hong Kong Cantonese. Many also came via Canton, Singapore and Hong Kong as well the goldfields of California, New Zealand and Australia’s southern colonies.

Since the gradual lifting of restrictions on immigration from Asian countries, Chinese from Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand, Indonesia and the Pacific Islands have settled in Darwin. Although refugees from Timor, Indo-China and the Chinese mainland have made Darwin their first port of call since the mid 1970s, relatively few have settled permanently in the Territory.
