[edit] Immigration
In 1986 it was estimated that there were 5,500 Bosnian Muslims in Australia including up to 2,000 born in Australia.
The earliest signs of Bosnian Muslim community life have been evident since 1950s 1 with the establishment of two Mosques in Melbourne and Sydney.
Most of the Bosnians in Australia migrated to the country throughout the 20th century and more recently as a result of the Bosnian War which took place between March 1992 and November 1995. There were significant movements in the 1960s and '70s.
Bosnian Muslim migrants who arrived in Australia in the 1960s made important contributions to modern-day Australia through their role in the construction of the Snowy Mountains Scheme in New South Wales.
