Was dutch people welcome in Australia?

Dutch people were among the early European explorers of Australia in the 17th century, but their presence did not lead to significant settlement until later. While the Dutch had a notable impact on mapping parts of the Australian coast, their actual Immigration to Australia increased significantly in the post-World War II era, during which they were generally welcomed as migrants and contributed to the country’s cultural diversity. Today, the Dutch Australian community is well-integrated and respected within Australian society.
