I am moving to Australia soon, but I do not know in what area to live in, and I would preferably be living where there are a lot of fellow South Africans. So if anyone knows how many South Africans live in a city as well as the number of total people in that city, please post the answer. Furthermore I would also like to know the TOTAL amount of people in Australia as well as TOTAL amount of South Africans living in Australia. I tried searching the web for these answer but I got nowhere, so a website regarding the answers would also be appreciated

Also: 22,711 South Africans in the queensland state.

According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics 2006 census tables, the number of people claiming to be from South Africa was 104,120 at the census date. Our current population is 21,557,737 and in 2006 it would have been something like 21,500,000. For individual cities and states, go to the ABS site: http://www.abs.gov.au/websitedbs/D3310114.nsf/home/census+data?opendocument?utm_id=LN Select 2006 Census tables and take it from there. The ABS figures are different from the Wikipedia ones. Up to you which ones you believe.

For the total amounts, I am not too sure but as a Sydneysider, I can tell you that a suburb called "St Ives" on the North Shore is home to a large South African population. On the opposite side of Sydney, in the Sutherland Shire, there are also a fair bit of South Africans.

Wow, great statistics. Though I thought all South Africans lived in Perth. This city is full of them!
