Edward Hargraves is officially credited with stating the Goldrush in Australia, but it was not he who did all the hard work. John Lister, William Tom and James Tom were the real labourers. However, they used the new "cradle" or "rocker" which Hargraves introduced from California, and it was Hargraves who used his knowledge of geology to suggest where to start digging.
