Aborigines & the gold rush. Explorers and squatters had already disrupted traditional ways of life for Aboriginal people in the Victorian gold fields region.
Flocks of sheep and cattle had already changed the environment and now crowds of men left significant scarring on the natural landscape. Miners cut down trees to use for firewood, housing and the boards that reinforced tunnels. Mining turned clear streams into cloudy ones. Sometimes miners diverted whole creeks and rivers to use the water in a new area. Hill End. Beaufoy Merlin, Wet plate glass negative, ON 4/Box 5/no. 18504 Hill End in 1872 was a gold town at its peak.
According to the Empire 7 June 1872, "The streets were thronged by a motley crowd; the stores and places of business crowded with customers; the little theatre so densely packed by an admiring audience, that there was not what is facetiously called 'standing room,' and even the public-houses, whose name is legion, were crammed. Yet I saw less, far less, drunkenness than can be met with in any street in the metropolis after 10 o'clock at night.

No place for a lady For a woman living on the goldfields, life could be very harsh.
For many, one of the hardest things to bear was loneliness. If they had been brought to the diggings by their husbands, they were inevitably forced to spend many hours alone while their husbands worked to seek their fortune. This meant that they would frequently spend most of their time alone and have to face a range of dangers including snakes, illness and assault. An 1854 census of the Ballarat goldfields found there were 4023 women compared to 12,660 men living on the diggings and only 5 percent of these women were single. For many women of childbearing age, the prospect of pregnancy and childbirth was always a concern. 2408601.jpg (1529×2436)

Non-Indigenous people and land owners might consider land as something they own, a commodity to be bought and sold, an asset to make profit from, but also a means to make a living off it or simply ‘home’ [1]. For Aboriginal people the relationship is much deeper. The land owns Aboriginal people and every aspect of their lives is connected to it. They have a profound spiritual connection to land. Aboriginal law and spirituality are intertwined with the land, the people and creation, and this forms their culture and sovereignty. The health of land and water is central to their culture.
