DISCOVERING GOLD
Upon settling Bathurst, it would be another decade before the first flecks of gold were fished out of Fish creek in February 1823 when the colony’s population numbered 40,632, and a further 28 years before word had rung out across the land of the discovery of ‘payable gold’ by Edward Hargreaves, first sounding the figurative alarm at a Bathurst hotel, by which time the pre ‘Gold Rush’ colony had reached 437,655 in number, when Hargreaves discovery was declared in 1851.
But was he really the first person to discover Payable Gold within Australia..?
Countless letters to the Editors of Australian newspapers call into question this very claim.
