There is a very strong Chinese community in Bendigo going back to the goldfields days. Tom's great grandfather was Chinese and as a result was involved in some aspects of Chinese life when growing up. This museum and park is built on the site of the old Bridge St Chinese area.

| Each tree has a plaque with the name of a prominent member of the Bendigo Chinese community. |

| My great grandfather, Charlie Fun Chung. |
