Chances are there was little difference between being a blacksmith on the goldfields compared to being a blacksmith in the larger towns - it's just that there would have been fewer amenities and far less sanitary conditions.
One advantage the smithy would have had would have been that he was able to charge whatever he liked. There was little competition for his services, and if someone needed a horse shod, a wheel made or some other blacksmith's job done, he was the only one in town who could do it. The customer could hardly travel hundreds of miles to another town to have it done.
