Reverend William B Clark found gold near Lithgow in 1941, about ten years before the official goldrush. This was at a time when news of any discovery of gold was suppressed, for fear that the convicts would riot and escape. Clarke was ordered by Governor Gipps to keep quiet about it. Gipps is reported to have said, "Put it away, Mr Clarke, or we will all have our throats cut!"
