The Forty-Niners usually ate beans, bacon, and whatever game they were able to kill during the gold rush in 1849. They cooked all of their food over an open fire. Since this food did not supply them with proper nutrition, scurvy was common among them.
People on the Australian goldfields most commonly ate damper, a simple bread made of flour, salt and water and cooked over an open campfire. They ate mutton with potatoes and onions, perhaps some cabbage and carrots if they were lucky, mutton or rabbit stew, or salted beef jerky. Occasionally they might kill a kangaroo or wallaby, but it was not the favoured food. The men might be lucky enough to kill chickens and ducks.
Other fruits and vegetables were rare on the goldfields, except for those who were prepared to deal with Chinese, who cultivated market gardens. Food was either brought in with the diggers or bought in one of the "trading posts" that grew up around where the fields were. Food was often very expensive as the local supplier had a monopoly on the market.
People on the goldfields enjoyed billy tea as well, which was tea boiled in a billy over an open fire.
