Abstract

From the dust jacket:
This book about gold and people is a story of hard work, great rewards for some and dogged persistence by many. In 140 years the mines from Jamieson to Woods Point produced 43 tonnes of gold, worth about $760 million in the values of 2002. The first 3 years on Morning Star Hill produced over $100,000,000 worth of gold in the dollars of 2002. Special features of the book are stories of the harmonious mix of families from many places. They showed great ability in organising their mines, local government and transport, courts, schools, and churches, mail, telegraph and supplies. It is a story of devastating bush fires and of communities determined to survive.
