Chinese/Asian, yes. There is some very large pockets of Asians in every state.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Indian % was the highest here though, and in Perth we have a pretty large population from Vietnam and the Philippines.

Perth is actually geographically closer to East Timor and Jakarta than to Sydney lmao.

Indian is the highest of the Asian countries through all of Australia, but that has changed over the years. Obviously the Poms sent all their crims here initially (although they sent more to America than here at the same time) but not long after that the Chinese started coming in droves. Indians and other Asians have really only been the big numbers for the last 20 or 30 years or so if I remember correctly.
Perth is the most remote capital city in the world.

It's actually a different barrel of monkey shit when it comes to visitors instead of immigration. Poms, Scots and Irish have been big tourists here for years but in the 70's and 80's we became really popular for tourists from Japan, Taiwan etc, many came here to get their photos taken with kangaroos, but a lot of them came for the gambling. The Eastern states were big on allowing international guests into the casinos because they were big spenders, bigger than most locals. By the late 80's word had spread around Asia that our casinos were good for them and the Vietnamese started arriving by the plane loads just to gamble. The Vietnamese drove out the Japanese and quickly we had more Vietnamese gamblers paying even more money so of course the casino owners were happy. Then by the mid 90's the Chinese had decided they wanted a slice of our gambling pie and for the same reason the Japanese stopped making Australian casinos their go to place the Vietnamese did the same. 20 years on and now half our casinos are owned (minority share) by Chinese businessmen, we have secret deals going on in back rooms that allow the sharks to come here gamble millions and disappear without paying taxes, some without even having a trace they were here.
The tourist/immigration trends have been hugely different to the visiting trends.

The Chinese were actually some of the earliest migrants to Australia. Came here in the late 18th century to mine for gold.

Happy to take anything you're willing to bet that I have no Sri Lankian in me at all
Yeah that's true, they didn't predate the poms sending their filth and scum over here but the Chinese were happy to off load boats and boats of them to make it rich in our mines, or more so make those who owned the mines rich and pay the workers a pittance.

A lot of knots can be used for various applications. I remember once having to study a book for scouts which showed a variety of knots and what they best suited. A quick skim of the net doesn't show anything like that online, although I'm sure it's somewhere. In the absence of such a book try a site like this, https://www.outdoorlife.com/photos/...l-knots-how-tie-20-knots-will-keep-you-alive/
It's far from a definitive list but it will give you an idea of what some of those knots are good for then you can decided which of your applications best suit the knots.
