AUSTRALIA & CAMBODIA
According to the 2016 census, there were around 33,000 Cambodian-born people and their families living in Australia. The wider Cambodian community in Australia, including those born in Australia of Cambodian descent, is estimated to number around 60,000.
Approximately 6,000 Australians reside in Cambodia, most being dual Cambodian-Australian citizens or expatriates involved in development assistance work or business. Tourism continues to grow.
The Kingdom of Cambodia is a country located in the southern portion of the Indochina Peninsula in Southeast Asia. It is bordered by Thailand to the northwest, Laos to the northeast, Vietnam to the east, and the Gulf of Thailand to the southwest.
The capital and largest city is Phnom Penh; the political, economic, and cultural center of Cambodia.
The most distinctive geographical feature is the inundations of the Tonle Sap (Great Lake), measuring about 2,590 square kilometers during the dry season and expanding to about 24,605 square kilometers during the rainy season. This densely populated plain, which is devoted to wet rice cultivation, is the heartland of Cambodia. Much of this area has been designated as a biosphere reserve.
Exports of clothing generate most of Cambodia’s foreign exchange and tourism is also important. The imposing temple complex at Angkor, built between the ninth and 13th centuries by Khmer kings, is a UN heritage site and a big draw for visitors.
