The Chinese arrival on the goldfields:

The Chinese fared worst of all at the hands of the blacks, but raids on them received little publicity unless a white digger was in some way involved. It was said the blacks preferred Chinese for eating purposes because their rice-fed flesh tasted better than the salty flesh of the beef fed whites.

Few of the newly arrived Chinese were allowed to keep the gold they won. They had signed indentures, with their families in China as security, in return for their fares to Australia, and their earnings went to their Chinese sponsors in Canton, Hong Kong and Cooktown. Their affairs were managed by a number of Chinese tongs or secret societies, who had divided the goldfield into strictly recognised working areas. Each gang was presided over by a tong representative--a trained hatchet-man---who directed activities, arranged rations and supplies, issued a few trusted coolies with such weapons as were available , and immediately took charge of all gold that was won. A quick knife in the back was the best a coolie could expect if caught stealing gold for himself. Eventually, when his debt was paid, together with suitable interest, he was free to work on his own account. Until then he laboured long hours, nearly naked in the scorching sun, provided with only the bare minimum needed to keep him alive.
