There were, though, some post-World War I German migrants and many living in the town learned multiple languages from their neighbours.〔(''Historical highlights'' ) by Denise Carter (The Cairns Post, 30 March 2013)〕

The Pitt, Sailor and Walters families were among the largest single group of Malay Town inhabitants.〔(''Torres Strait Islanders'' ) by Anna Shnukal (from ''Multilcutlural Queensland 2001: 100 years, 100 communities, A century of contributions'', Department of the Premier and Cabinet (Queensland), 2001)〕
