“But Hong Kong is the name locally given to the Chinese camp near Bright, on the other side of Growler's Creek. I am sorry to see that the Chinaman is still very much to the fore in this mountain valley. Here is a new joss house, and the "Quan Kee" hotel, run by Yea Chunn, who is a licensed publican, and who furnishes his countrymen with opium and fan-tan, and vagabond Europeans with the worst of spirits."

The Age, 20 April 1889, p.13.
