About the book
Australia's incredible gold rushes of the mid-tolate-1800s produced tremendous wealth and ensured the financial survival of the struggling Australian colonies. Noth only that, but they also tripled the country's small population, were the last nail in the coffin for convict transportation, subverted the hierarchical British class system, laid the foundations of the Australian egalitarian ethos and stimulated the democratic ideas that led to the establishment of the nation of Australia. -- back cover.
