The discovery of Gold in New South Wales in Summer Hill Creek, in February 1851, was to have a profound affect on the social and economic fabric of Australia as previously unimagined wealth was mined from the land. Here you can read first hand accounts and opinions from the press of the day and trace the early progress of the gold fields in these exciting times.
