GOLD FOR AUSTRALIA By William Vince-Moin 5/6B

GOLD FOR AUSTRALIA Gold was found by the Europeans in the Blue Mountains in Travellers and fossickers found small amount of gold in this region. The amount of gold found was usually trapped inside lumps of quartz and granite. Australian needed two things to happen before a gold rush could begin. A man named Edward Hammond Hargraves a salesman made a fuss and got everybody excited about finding gold. Hargraves showed ordinary people how to seek gold.

HARGRAVES FINDS GOLD Edward Hargraves was a man who was very restless and tired several jobs without success. He was a very good talker and didn’t like staying long at one job. Hargraves had a dream which he often spoke about around the campfire at night. If he found around the hills of Bathurst in New South Wales he thought maybe the government would pay him a reward and hire him to find gold in other places.

How to seek gold Gold is inside a tough rock. To get it out you have to smash it into gravel with an iron machine. Rocks with gold in them are worn away by the wind and rain. Gold is washed down into creeks and then it sinks to the bottom of the creek. Gold is buried deep into the alluvial soil dropped by the creek’ waters. To find alluvial gold you only need one shovel and shallow pan. You filled the pan with soil from creek bed, add water and swirl

THE RUSHES BEGIN Hargraves showed local men how to build a ‘California cradle’ and how it worked. The cradle was made from a wooden box with a grid top. The cradle was quicker to work with than a pan but it required two men to work it. Hargraves also gave lectures about gold and explained where to find the gold.

ABORINGAL PEOPLE The gold rush wasn’t kind to the Australian Aborigines. A lot of aborigines worked as Native Police. It was their job to hunt gold diggers and put them into jail for not paying for a licence to dig for gold. The gold that was found was on Aboriginal territory.

A LICENCE TO SEEK A FORTUNE It cost diggers 30 shillings a month for a licence to dig gold. Mostly diggers paid for their licences and often ran away pr hid from authorities. The population of New South Wales from was very slim. Aboriginal people were not counted until Edward Hargraves received a reward and a pension of 250 pounds per year for the rest of his life. He was also give the job of finding more gold in Australia, but wasn’t successful.
