NOTHING BUT GOLD.
S/C (Robyn
Annear) 1999.
329pp. Gold was discovered in Australia in 1851,
and within a year the infant colony was transformed from a sump
for convicts to a Land of Opportunity. To be living on the
diggings in 1852 was to be in the thick
of it. That year 75,000 adventurers learnt as much about
housekeeping as they did about gold-digging
- the same shovel a fry up his breakfast might also unearth him
a fortune before lunch. This book describes the digger's life in
detail: the mud of winter and dust of summer, the pluckiness of
the women and children, the grog shanties, and the much hated
licensing system which was to culminate in the Eureka Stockade.
