This book has been used by many who have written similar since. The focus is a complete history of gold, complemented by geology, mining methods and photographic records, using Hill End as an example of the rise and fall of an Australian gold town, highlighting four gold related world records, and the World's largest single mass of gold.


If you can trace your family back to the 1870's in Australians it is possible you could have 8 GG-grandfathers. During the 1870's Hill End was the second largest population in NSW, making it a strong possibility many 4th generation Australian's have ties back to this goldfield. To get a real feel for an Australian gold town history it was necessary to pick a site as an example, understanding that a short time had the most impact and the travelling gold seeking population infiltrated very remote areas. A gold digger was an explorer who chased adventure and, with luck, found riches. Some research sources were The Department of Mineral Resources, Mines Inspector and Gold Commissioners reports. Original mining company and Royal Australian Mint records. Family diaries, living and continuing mining family accounts combined with the general atmosphere which involved the living community of Hill End.
