Australia prides itself on being a multicultural society. Each new community that flourished here had to start with one adventurous individual who took the plunge and crossed the oceans to settle in Australia. In this series from SBS News, we're trying to find those pioneers - the people who laid the foundations of modern multicultural Australia. We will talk about their lives, about what they teach us on early immigration to Australia, and what they mean to those who followed on their footsteps.

Australia prides itself on being a multicultural society - but it wasn't always that way. Each new culture that flourished here had to start with one adventurous individual or family who took the plunge and crossed the oceans to reach Australia. In this series, we're trying to find those first pioneers. Episode five tells us the story of Sakuragawa Rikinosuke, our candidate for the first Japanese person to ever call Australia home.
