Sorry could not give you the cities, I hope the states are sufficient.

These days there are more mainland Chinese people immigrating into Australia. There are more Chinese immigrants from northern areas of China than ever before. A few decades ago most Chinese people that immigrated into Australia would be Cantonese, especially from Hong Kong. Even if they were from the Vietnamese, Indonesia, Singaporean or Malayan diaspora they would have roots back to Southern China, again mostly Cantonese. However there are some who speak Hakkanese, Hokkien and Teochew. China's Open Door Policy in the 1980s gave more mainland Chinese people the opportunity to immigrate into Australia. As you can imagine, Chinese Australians are not monolithic. They have very different roots coming from different historical periods and places with a very different culture. Compare a Chinese immigrant coming into Australia during the Gold Rush, the White Australian Policy, as refugees from Vietnam, as businessmen from Hong Kong or recent immigration.
