Robe Walk Memorial

A Chinese Memorial was built in the 1980s to commemorate the arrival and enduring association Chinese-Australians have with Robe.

The Royal Circus and Seawall Historic Site at Robe demonstrate the early development of regional ports and townships in South Australia and the role such places played in supporting the expansion of government administration in the mid-nineteenth century and growth of primary industry, transport and migration. The site also has particularly strong associations for the Chinese-Australian community. Over 16,000 Chinese migrants arrived at or near the Royal Circus before walking to the Victorian goldfields in the 1850s. A Chinese Memorial built in the 1980s, commemorates the arrival and enduring association Chinese-Australians have with Robe.

The site is confirmed as a State Heritage Place in the SA Heritage Register in 1984.
