Description:

Historical account of the claims and counter-claims of people who sought government rewards for creating the Australian goldrush of 1851. Looks at the commonly held view that Governor Gipps suppressed news of a discovery in 1844, and critically examines the parts played by Reverend W B Clarke and Governor Gipps to provide alternative reasoning to why the rush was an 1851 event. Includes photos, footnotes and appendices.
