ITS critics call the place Vietnamatta or Saigon City
Walk its street and you could be forgiven for thinking you are in South East Asia. Asians barter in their native tongues with shopkeepers in store doorways and Chinese boy play on the footpath. The Bangkok Supermarket, Wing Huor Food Store and the Bangkok Chinese Butchery do a roaring trade, and the newspaper Bell of Saigon is in demand. Cabramatta, in the heart of Sydney's South-West has become a new home for more than 8000 refugees.PhotographerBarry GilmourNotesROGERS-www.johnrogersarchice.com
