Quong Tart was born in Guangdong province and migrated with his uncle to Australia in 1859. After working on the goldfields he established a tea trading business and opened a chain of tea rooms in Sydney. He became a leading merchant and a local community leader and philanthropist, and was well-known and respected despite anti-Chinese attitudes.
Mrs Quong Tart (Margaret Scarlett) (1865-1916) was an Australian school teacher, originally from Lancashire, who married Chinese tea merchant and community leader, Quong Tart.
