Suburbs associated with Nationalities ?
Most people will know that almost every city has its "Chinatown", but what about other nationalities ?
Leichhardt in NSW is known as "Little Italy"
Auburn NSW as "Little Turkey"
Cabramatta NSW for Vietnam.
What others are there ? and have the above changed recently in any way?

I didn't know this when we moved here, but we went to Ormiston house one day, and there were bagpipers and everything, and most of the people we met were scots.
Apparently Captain Louis hope bought Ormiston, because the view across to the islands reminded him of the view across the Forth from Edinburgh.
Its funny how many scots subconciously settle here. I didn't even know this was scots land, it was Mrs JTL chose it!
Ormiston (Scottish Borders, East Lothian, Fife and West Lothian). The suburb takes its name from the railway station. The name of the station was derived from Ormiston House, the residence of Louis Hope (1817-1894), a grazier, sugar cane farmer and miller, who named his house after a village in Lothian, Scotland.
