Canley Vale

Cabramatta is a suburb of Sydney, New South Wales (NSW), Australia, It is part of the Local Government Area of the City of Fairfield, 32 km south-west of the Sydney CBD. It is a predominantly Vietnamese and Chinese commercial area, with some Thai, Lao, Yugoslavian, Italian and Cambodian businesses also present. The suburb has a longstanding image problem, primarily due to its reputation as a popular distribution point for drugs, especially heroin, particularly around its railway station. Looking past this veneer, one finds that Cabramatta has been a remarkable melting pot for all manner of Asian and European peoples in the latter half of the 20th century.
