The effect on Aboriginal people
on gold
By Jannifer . Roberts
Aboriginal people there say on gold
• It’s a mystery that Indigenous Australians
were simply bewildered spectators of the gold
rush. Many worked on the sheep stations,
provided their expertise of the land to gold
hungry diggers, engaged in trade with the
miners or were members of the Native Police
Corps
Mining Aboriginal lands
• The gold rush was a second wave of
dispossession for Australian Aborigines, many
of whom had already been forced from their
land by pastoralists. The massive influx of
diggers onto their land and the ensuing
environmental destruction had a lasting
impact.
Death on the goldfields
• To make matters worse, the gold rushes had a
devastating effect on Aboriginal people for a
number of years. Diseases such as smallpox
and measles were rife because of the poor
conditions in which people lived on the
goldfields.

Aboriginal children along the route would sing
out to passing horsemen, 'Are you off to the
diggings?’ One early traveller wrote, ‘We
frequently got a native to go a distance with us
as a guide, for which we gave him a stick of
tobacco and “plenty tucker”, viz., damper and
mutton, or a bellyful to eat’
Bendigo Miners
• It all started at Bendigo in 1854, where fame of
its riches spread all over the world, attracting
miners and would be miners from afar as
California, China and Europe.
• Today Bendigo still displays is 1850’s wealth with
its Victorian Era architecture. Only a hundred
years later, in the 1950’s, did the last gold mine
close, yet new technology offers hope to mining
companies for the region.

Yes there are different types of gold
1.Rose gold-Rose gold is a gold and copper alloy
widely used for specialized jewellery. It is also
known as pink gold and red gold. As it was
popular in Russia at the beginning of the
nineteenth century, it is also known as Russian
gold only.
2. gold-He weighed 18 stone and was a sailor,
publican, shopkeeper and adventurer. Edward
Hargraves was also the man who would set off
the first Australian gold rush. As self-appointed
leader of a small group which travelled to
California in 1850. Gold in Australia before 1851
was a dangerous commodity. The Californian
gold rush drew people from across the globe to
the 'wild west' coast of America
3.white gold-There are however gold alloys
which appear white, silvery, or grey.
When jewellers speak of white gold, they mean
white gold alloys. In most other major languages
these alloys are described as grey rather than
white. We will stick to "white".
