Boldrewood's novel not only spins a tale of adventure and fortitude but also provides an invaluable literary context for understanding the cultural and economic impact of mining on Australian society. Rolf Boldrewood, the nom de plume of Thomas Alexander Browne, was intricately connected to his writings through both profession and personal history. Serving as a magistrate and a Goldfields Commissioner, Boldrewood brought to life the arduous and raw experiences of the Australian frontier. His insights into the struggles for rights and riches amongst miners are rooted in firsthand knowledge and experiences, granting his work an air of authority and resonance that only a true participant in the events could convey. This intrinsic authenticity is what elevates his writing beyond mere storytelling, to serve as a chronicling of a pivotal time in Australia's development. 'The Miner's Right' is an essential read for anyone interested in the rich tapestry of Australia's past or the transformative pursuit of gold. Boldrewood's narrative prowess offers a window into the soul of the Australian goldfields, his characters emblematic of the ambitions and hardships of those who sought fortune and freedom beneath the Southern Cross.

  daily life on the goldfields australia: Daily Life of Women Colleen Boyett, H. Micheal Tarver, Mildred Diane Gleason, 2020-12-07 Indispensable for the student or researcher studying women's history, this book draws upon a wide array of cultural settings and time periods in which women displayed agency by carrying out their daily economic, familial, artistic, and religious obligations. Since record keeping began, history has been written by a relatively few elite men. Insights into women's history are left to be gleaned by scholars who undertake careful readings of ancient literature, examine archaeological artifacts, and study popular culture, such as folktales, musical traditions, and art. For some historical periods and geographic regions, this is the only way to develop some sense of what daily life might have been like for women in a particular time and place. This reference explores the daily life of women across civilizations. The work is organized in sections on different civilizations from around the world, arranged chronologically. Within each society, the encyclopedia highlights the roles of women within five broad thematic categories: the arts, economics and work, family and community life, recreation and social customs, and religious life. Included are numerous sidebars containing additional information, document excerpts, images, and suggestions for further reading.

  daily life on the goldfields australia: Eureka! Mark Wilson, 2020-01-28 A stirring story of the goldfields and the Eureka Rebellion, by award-winning author/illustrator Mark Wilson LONGLISTED FOR THE COLIN RODERICK AWARD 2021 Molly and her father have emigrated to Australia to try their luck as gold prospectors in Ballarat, Victoria.

From award-winning author and illustrator Mark Wilson, this powerful story is inspired by real people and historical events.
  daily life on the goldfields australia: An Archaeology of Australia Since 1788 Susan Lawrence, Peter Davies, 2010-10-21 This volume provides an important new synthesis of archaeological work carried out in Australia on the post-contact period. It draws on dozens of case studies from a wide geographical and temporal span to explore the daily life of Australians in settings such as convict stations, goldfields, whalers' camps, farms, pastoral estates and urban neighbourhoods. The different conditions experienced by various groups of people are described in detail, including rich and poor, convicts and their superiors, Aboriginal people, women, children, and migrant groups. The social themes of gender, class, ethnicity, status and identity inform every chapter, demonstrating that these are vital parts of human experience, and cannot be separated from archaeologies of industry, urbanization and culture contact. The book engages with a wide range of contemporary discussions and debates within Australian history and the international discipline of historical archaeology. The colonization of Australia was part of the international expansion of European hegemony in the eighteenth and nineteenth century. The material discussed here is thus fundamentally part of the global processes of colonization and the creation of settler societies, the industrial revolution, the development of mass consumer culture, and the emergence of national identities. Drawing out these themes and integrating them with the analysis of archaeological materials highlights the vital relevance of archaeology in modern society.
  daily life on the goldfields australia: Needlework and Women’s Identity in Colonial Australia Lorinda Cramer, 2019-09-05 In gold-rush Australia, social identity was in flux: gold promised access to fashionable new clothes, a grand home, and the goods to furnish it, but could not buy gentility. Needlework and Women's Identity in Colonial Australia explores how the wives, mothers, sisters, and daughters who migrated to the newly formed colony of Victoria used their needle skills as a powerful claim to social standing. Focusing on one of women's most common daily tasks, the book examines how needlework's practice and products were vital in the contest for social position in the turmoil of the first two decades of the Victorian rush from 1851. Placing women firmly at the center of colonial history, it explores how the needle became a tool for stitching together identity. From decorative needlework to household making and mending, women's sewing was a vehicle for establishing, asserting, and maintaining social status. Interdisciplinary in scope, Needlework and Women's Identity in Colonial Australia draws on material culture, written primary sources, and pictorial evidence, to create a rich portrait of the objects and manners that defined genteel goldfields living. Giving voice to women's experiences and positioning them as key players in the fabric of gold-rush society, this volume offers a fresh critical perspective on gender and textile history.

  daily life on the goldfields australia: The Luminaries Eleanor Catton, 2013-10-15 The winner of the Man Booker Prize, this expertly written, perfectly constructed bestseller (The Guardian) is now a Starz miniseries. It is 1866, and Walter Moody has come to stake his claim in New Zealand's booming gold rush. On the stormy night of his arrival, he stumbles across a tense gathering of 12 local men who have met in secret to discuss a series of unexplained events: a wealthy man has vanished, a prostitute has tried to end her life, and an enormous cache of gold has been discovered in the home of a luckless drunk. Moody is soon drawn into a network of fates and fortunes that is as complex and exquisitely ornate as the night sky. Richly evoking a mid-nineteenth-century world of shipping, banking, and gold rush boom and bust, The Luminaries is at once a fiendishly clever ghost story, a gripping page-turner, and a thrilling novelistic achievement. It richly confirms that Eleanor Catton is one of the brightest stars in the international literary firmament.
  daily life on the goldfields australia: Australians and the Gold Rush Jay Monaghan, 2023-11-15 Australians and the Gold Rush: California and Down Under 1849-1854 vividly recounts the dramatic intersection of two worlds during the California Gold Rush. Beginning with the arrival of news about gold in Sydney in December 1848, the narrative introduces John Fairfax, editor of the Sydney Morning Herald, whose skepticism about California fever mirrors a broader societal ambivalence. The discovery of gold, initially treated with intrigue and doubt, quickly turned into a commercial opportunity for merchants like Robert Towns, who leveraged the rush to offload surplus goods to San Francisco. This richly detailed account captures the social and economic tensions of the time—ranging from class divides and labor unrest in Australia to the calculated opportunism of merchants and shipowners capitalizing on trans-Pacific trade. The book also highlights the cultural dynamics between Australians and Americans, with Fairfax embodying a British disdain for American democracy while grappling with the transformative potential of the gold rush. Amid the flurry of advertisements, speculations, and passenger arrangements, the departure of the first gold seekers marked the beginning of Australia's connection to California’s historic gold fields. Drawing on the colorful characters, bustling Circular Wharf scenes, and the broader geopolitical context, Australians and the Gold Rush paints a compelling picture of the profound economic and social shifts spurred by the lure of California's gold. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1966.

  daily life on the goldfields australia: Out of the Ordinary Derham Groves, 2020-05-15 “Out of the Ordinary is one part unembellished documentation and one part verbi-visual equivalent of a Pro Hart work made with nineteenth-century, paint-loaded canons. It is a cultural history, resource for contemporary designers, imaginarium and luminous almanac of an explorer of the stranger species of creativity – from brick art to letterboxes, junk mail, mail art, television, fashion, food, model trains, Disney’s imagineering, amusement parks, feng-shui, Postmodern architecture, human-scale craftsmanship, forgotten Australian architects in China, famous architects (that, perhaps, should be forgotten save for their bow ties), collectors of Sherlock Holmes memorabilia, outsider artists and clients – and none of these things exactly. Everywhere Derham Groves attends to and finds significance in the minutiae of everyday life, inter-association, and those things that affect us so profoundly but remain just outside the purview of the ‘normal.’ And in these things – objects, art, architecture, environment(s) – he finds stories and teaches his reader how to do the same. Out of the Ordinary is also a motivational text. It begins with bricks, perhaps the most standardized and repeatable units of construction, and reveals how they can be used as vehicles for unfettered creativity and not merely for the creation of containers. Groves shows how art and architecture can emerge and receive nourishment from the garbage of the everyday and creative collisions. Groves also calls, albeit subtly, for a turn away from homogeneity, the standardized, and unimaginative or ‘lazy’ design informed by principles of economy, efficiency, utility and function conceived in abstraction. Rather, Groves celebrates the reanimation and/or rejuvenation of place by the makers of anything out of the ordinary (who don’t necessarily pray to the demiurge of good taste) who have created spaces and things through which the creative imagination shines.” – Dr Andrew Chrystall, School of Communication, Journalism and Marketing, Massey University

When Europeans crossed the world to plant a new society in an unknown land, traditional life for Australia's first inhabitants changed forever. For the new arrivals, Australia was a land that rewarded, tricked, tantalised and often defeated. From the Gold Rush to Land Rights and the Digital Age, Blainey brings to life the key events of more recent times that have shaped us into the nation and people we are today. Compelling, groundbreaking and brilliantly readable, The Story of Australia's People Volume II is the second instalment of an ambitious two-part work, and the culmination of the lifework of Australia's most prolific and wide-ranging historian.
