Hmong

 

Hmong settled in Hobart seeking refuge after years spent in camps on the Laos-Thai border. Their stalls in the Salamanca Market are now an instrinsic part of Tasmanian culture. .
  • Decimated by the Viet Cong for being on the side of the Americans during the Vietnam War, they looked for a place far away from the conflicts of that part of Asia, and one where they could re-settle in peace and quiet. Hobart fitted these parameters... Their vegetable stands are a major drawcard for the housewives and gourmet cooks of Hobart. (Sally's Place)
