Description

Don't Go to the Goldfields entertainingly explores, through real-life tales, the dangers of going to the Australian goldfields during the time of the gold rush. The sixth in the Seriously History series, this book is written through the narrative of a letter from distraught parents to their children who are considering moving from England to Australia in search of gold. Underpinned by the question, ?Was it really that dangerous living and working on the Victorian goldfields?, Don't Go to the Goldfields explores topics such as: the voyage to Australia; the lives of men and women on the goldfields; the dangers faced by diggers; and how through seeking their fortune British Diggers became Australian Settlers.
