The effect on Aboriginal peopleon 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.
