"CADCAI is custodian of one of the nation’s hidden treasures, the Cairns Lit Sung Goong (LSG) Temple collection. This nationally significant collection of over 250 artefacts came from the Chinese temple which operated in Cairns from 1887 and 1966. The collection is an outstanding example of the material culture of Chinese Australian religious practices, and one of the few tangible links to a growing Chinese community more than a century ago."
