Japanese community of Melbourne

[2] As of 2007, many high income Japanese live in Melbourne-area middle class suburbs, such as Brighton and Camberwell.

[7] The Japan Club of Victoria (JCV; ヴィクトリア日本クラブ Vikutoria Nihon Kurabu) is the city's largest organization of Japanese migrants.

[5] The Japanese government operates the Consulate-General of Japan in Melbourne (在メルボルン日本国総領事館 Zai Meruborun Nippon-koku Sōryōjikan).

[9] In September 1972 a full Saturday only Japanese program opened in the city.

At the time some Japan-born children attended Australian schools and were moved to a nihonjin gakkō for their final year in Australia, since they were due to return to Japan.

[15] Tetsuo Mizukami (水上 徹男 Mizukami Tetsuo[16]), the author of The Sojourner Community: Japanese Migration and Residency in Australia, wrote that the chamber of commerce, the JSM, and the Japanese society are "always involved" in major events, such as festivals and athletic competitions, related to the Japanese community, and that the said community "becomes quite visible in Melbourne" when these events take place.
