Gold: Forgotten Histories and Lost Objects of Australia Hardcover - 2001
by Iain McCalman (Editor); Alexander Cook (Editor); Andrew Reeves (Editor)
First line
The discovery of the Victorian Gold Fields has converted a remote dependency into a country of world-wide fame; it has attracted a population extraordinary in number, with unprecedented rapidity; it has enhanced the value of property to an enormous extent; it has made this the richest country in the world; and, in less than three years, it has done for this Colony the work of an age and made its impulses felt in the most distant regions of the earth.
