Long after the rush for gold had subsided, the French community in Australia continued to prosper.
Following the devastating Franco-Prussian War (1870-1871), a gradual increase in French Australian trade broughta growing number of French settlers to the colony.
By the early 1890s there were over 4000 French-born residents in Australia, almost half of them in NSW. From the1880s to the present day, NSW has attracted over 40% of Australia's French migrants.

Bond Street and the woolbuyers
French and Belgian textile companies were anxious to organise direct sales with Australian wool producers and,from 1852, they began to send representatives to the colonies. Wool-trading companies such as Leroux, Masurel,Caulliez and Mathon-Bertrand eventually established permanent offices in Australia. These were soon joined by aFrench bank (1881) and a shipping line (1882).

Due to the rapid expansion of the French community in Australia, the French Consulate was upgraded to aConsulate-General in 1892, and a French language newspaper, Le Courrier australien, was launched.
In order to consolidate the infrastructure of the French community, the Consulate-General moved to the BondStreet Chambers in Sydney, which also housed other local French associations, such as the French BenevolentSociety (1891), the Alliance Française and the French Chamber of Commerce (1899). All continue to operatetoday.
Woolbuyers constituted the active core of the local French colony, and their prestige and influence continued toexpand in the 20th century. While Melbourne was initially the larger wool-selling centre, Sydney gradually tookprecedence. French business activity also centred around meeting places patronised by expatriates.
Patriotic gestures: Bastille Day and war service
From 1889 Sydney's French community celebrated their Fête Nationale with an annual gala picnic. The daycommemorates the storming of the Bastille, on 14 July 1789, which signalled the start of the French Revolution.Originally held at the Sir Joseph Banks Hotel, Botany, in 1907 the venue was moved to Clifton Gardens, onSydney's north shore.
All French citizens are required by law to serve their homeland in times of war. Men return to France to enlist whilewives and mothers raise funds and prepare comfort packages for the soldiers and their families. When World War Ibroke out, seven members of the Playoust family of woolbuyers went to fight for France - three did not return.
The French Australian League of Help was founded by Marie-Therese Playoust in December 1914, to providecomforts for French troops and their families. War relief activities involved the manufacture of clothing andorganisation of fortnightly shipments of goods to France, as well as fundraising drives like 1917 France's Day.

During World War II, the ships and crews of the French Pacific Fleet were frequent visitors to Australian ports.Following the French Government's capitulation to Germany in 1940, members of the Australian FrenchCommunity mobilised behind General de Gaulle's Free French Movement - André Brenac, a former woolbuyer,was de Gaulle's personal representative in Australia.
Relief agencies such as the French Australian League of Help were re-commissioned during World War II and,after peace was declared in Europe in May 1945, contingents from the Free French Forces joined Australian troopsin the 1946 Victory Day parade.

Café society: food and fashion
Until the 1970s the nucleus of French society in Australia was formed by a small group of French and Belgianwoolbuyers, surrounded by bankers and other businessmen, the consular corps, and of course their wives andfamilies. Their objective was to enhance France's image and prestige in the host country, bringing a certain Frenchflavour to local fashions, dining and fund-raising balls.
The most famous member of this social set was charity queen Nola Dekyvère - ironically, the Australian half of afashionable French-Australian couple from the woolbuying circles.

In 1938, the Princes Restaurant opened in Martin Place, Sydney, and highlighted French flair for mixing businessand pleasure. Serving fine French cuisine, it soon became Sydney's premier dining destination. A popular meetingplace for the local French community, society 'ladies who lunched' were regularly photographed there wearingfashions by Sydney-based couturier Madame Pellier and hats by French Countess, turned milliner, HenrietteLamotte. While Oh, for a French Wife!, published in 1952, encouraged Australian hostesses to entertain at home inthe French way.
When Jacqueline Playoust married Brian Dwyer in 1951, she was following the tendency of French Australians towed outside their cultural group. She persuaded Max Dupain, the famous Australian commercial photographer, tocapture her wedding day on film, and asked the local patissierie to make a traditional French croquembouchewedding cake for the occasion.
Many Australians continue to associate France with luxury products like wine, fashion, perfume and food, but postwar Australia has also provided a wealth of trade and investment opportunities for French businesses andtechnology. The gradual reversal of the balance of trade between the two countries was partly due to a decline inFrance's need of Australian primary produce, especially wool, but also to the growing presence of Frenchcompanies in the Australian market. This was facilitated by the activities of a rejuvenated French-AustralianChamber of Commerce.

The Free French Forces (also called Free French Forces Appeal or Forces françaises libres) were individuals ormilitary units who joined "Free France" (la France libre), the resistance organisation founded by Charles de Gaulleafter his appeal of 18th June 1940 in London. Its aim was to continue the struggle against the Axis powers.It was created in February 1941. André Brenac was the first chairman. At the same time, The Free FrenchMovement in Australia was created.The Free French Forces Appeal was shook up, becoming the French Comfort Fund. Then, it had to stop itsactivities in 1948 because Melbourne commission of distribution, controlling the war charities, didn’t allowed themto keep going.
The Free French Movement in Australia (Mouvement France Libre en Australie) has been constituted by the FreeFrenchmen in Australia in March 1941. It encourages support for the Free French Forces in Australia and otherplaces throughout the world in aid of the cause of France, organizes activities of French citizens and sympathizersand encourages the raising of funds for the Free French Forces Appeal in Australia. M. Brenac, leader of the Free French Forces in Australia appointed by the General de Gaulle played a crucial partin.

In view of the continued recognition of the French Consulates in Australia, it has not been possible for theCommonwealth Government to grant any form of official recognition to M. Brenac, but at the same time closecontact has been maintained with him.The Free French Movement was dissoluted in June 1944 and replaced by the French Australian Association.
