Melbourne holds the largest South Asian population in the country, spread across three distinct arcs: the western growth corridor through Tarneit, Truganina, Point Cook and Werribee; the northern corridor through Craigieburn, Roxburgh Park and Mickleham; and the established south-east through Clayton, Springvale, Dandenong, Glen Waverley and out to Cranbourne and Pakenham.
That geography matters for matchmaking more than people expect. A match between Werribee and Berwick is a ninety-minute drive each way, and "we're both in Melbourne" can quietly mean two different lives.
Melbourne's Korean community is compact and professional, spread through the CBD's student towers, the inner south-east and Glen Waverley, without a Strathfield-scale heartland — congregations, university societies and workplace networks carry the community's social life.
