During the goldrushes, women were required to become more self-sufficient and assertive, developing their own initiative to keep the farms running. One of the main effects of the gold rushes was that a lot of the men who worked on the farms, sheep and cattle stations simply downed their tools and left. Workers, owners, roustabouts, stockmen, jackaroos - they left their jobs for the lure of the goldfields. Often women and children were left to tend the stations their husbands left behind.
