  Probably also Bike-to-work day 1999. It looks like the Chula Vista store of Mission Cyclery opened about 2,000. There was a store in Bonita prior to that.

  Chinese labourers were an important element of the workforce hired by Europeanlandowners to operate the sugar cane farms. The Chinese were also renowned for their practice of market gardening in the Cairns district. Market gardeners grew an extensive assortment of fruit and vegetables which was vital to the sustenance of early settlement in the region. Besides sugar, the local Chinese population was heavily involved in the cultivation of bananas, especially around Geraldton (now Innisfail) and the Johnstone River. This was a major agricultural export industry, which the Chinese helped to expand until the mid-1900s. Regrettably, the local Chinese population was greatly reduced as a result of the post-Federation legislation designed to limit the arrival of Chinese immigrants and restrict the productive activities of those who remained in Australia. As part of the 'White Australia' policies, these legislative changes had devastated the Chinese as a distinct group in agriculture in the Cairns district by 1920.
