About this listen

 This episode features A/Prof Yu Tao in conversation with Lucy Hair and Prof Benjamin Smith, delving into the rich and often overlooked history of Chinese market gardens in Western Australia. Together, they reflect on the limited occupational opportunities for Chinese migrants in the early twentieth century, and how market gardening became both a livelihood and a lasting cultural contribution. The discussion also highlights the enduring legacy of these gardens, their role in shaping WA’s food culture, and the significance of recording these stories through digital storytelling and community engagement.
