See Sing & Co.
from Two Centuries of Chinese Heritage in Western Australia
In this episode, Associate Professor Yu Tao joins Professor Benjamin Smith to uncover the remarkable story of See Sing & Co., a pioneering Chinese Australian business that served the remote communities of Cassac, Broome, and Roebourne during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Their conversation reveals how this little-known enterprise functioned as a lifeline for settlers in the north while reflecting the broader experiences of early Chinese Western Australians navigating opportunity, adversity, and belonging. As Western Australia transformed from colony to state, See Sing & Co. offers a powerful lens into the resilience, adaptability, and enduring legacy of Chinese-run businesses in the region’s evolving social and economic landscape.
