Peter Lalor was a well know gold Miner/panner.

Edward Hargraves was know to be the first gold found in Australia recorded he was know to have traveled to California to take part in the gold rush but he found nothing and he realised that some of the gold fields there looked like some places in Australia (maquarie valley) so he set off to find gold with the help of John Lister and James Tom and claimed the reward of $5000 but after James Tom protested he only claimed $2381.
