Czech Australians
Most Czech (and ethnic Moravian) immigrants to Australia came after World War II and 1968-1969. Most recently the biggest influx is of students coming to Australia to study English and to find work. Many of them are deciding to stay by gaining permanent residency. There are around 31,000 people of Czech and of Moravian descent living in Australia, mostly in Melbourne and Sydney.
