Chinese Victorians have received a formal apology from Premier Daniel Andrews for a racist gold rush-era policy that forced many Chinese migrants to walk from South Australia to the goldfields.
The apology came after a group of walkers re-enacted the journey starting in Robe, South Australia, and arriving in Melbourne on Thursday after a 20-day trek.
