The Art of the Victorian Gold Rush
Caroline reminded us yesterday of how important paddle steamers were to the early settlers along the rivers - in this case the great Murray River that divides Victoria from New South Wales.
What brought most of the early free settlers to Australia especially to Victoria? Gold!

The first bookmark is to the abridged version of the article.
And this bookmark below is for those of you who would like to read the full article.
