Gold, Graves and Glory: 1850-1880

Another in the Fair Dinkum History series which focusses on the goldrush era. Australian history. For 60,000 years the rest of the world had pretty much left Australia and its Aboriginal nations alone. Then it became a home for Britain's criminals and poor. Now a con man had found gold and suddenly everyone was heading to Australia: adventurers, revolutionaries, camels . . . Australia would never be the same.
