The Romani people in Australia are citizens of Australia who are of Romani descent. They are sometimes referred to as Gypsies or Roma. Most Roma in Australia trace their roots to the United Kingdom and Greece, who in return trace their roots to northern India. The first Roma arrived in Australia in 1788, with migration patterns continuing throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The population is currently estimated to be between 5,000 and 25,000 peoples, with significant numbers of Roma living in New South Wales, Queensland and Western Australia.
