Darwin's population changed after the Second World War. Like many other Australian cities, Darwin experienced influxes from Europe, with significant numbers of [[Italians]] and [[Greeks]] during the 1960s and 1970s. It also began to experience an influx from other European countries, which included the [[Dutch people|Dutch]], [[Germans]], and many others.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.abs.gov.au/AUSSTATS/abs@.nsf/DetailsPage/3105.0.65.0012006?OpenDocument|title=Darwin Significant Migration Groups|author=Australian Bureau of Statistics|access-date=26 March 2008|author-link=Australian Bureau of Statistics}}</ref> A significant proportion of Darwin's residents are recent immigrants from [[Asian Australian|Asia]], including the peoples of [[East Timor]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://nt.gov.au/community/multicultural-communities/community-profiles/portuguese-timorese|title=Portuguese-Timorese|publisher=Northern Territory Government|date=2 March 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.localsearch.com.au/profile/portuguese-timorese-social-club-inc/marrara-nt/fOed|title=Portuguese & Timorese Social Club Inc in Marrara|website=Localsearch|access-date=3 September 2019|archive-date=16 November 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221116111107/https://www.localsearch.com.au/profile/portuguese-timorese-social-club-inc/marrara-nt/fOed|url-status=dead}}</ref>
