Why was Ballarat Australia built where it stands today?
Ballarat started out as a gold-mining town. The first goldrushes in Victoria started in 1851 in an area encompassing where Ballarat and Bendigo now stand. Many of the towns within what is called the "Golden Triangle" started out as diggers' camps. Like many gold-mining camps, the town grew out of the need to provide supplies for the miners.
How did people earn a living in the gold era?
There was a need for most every trade that supplied the miners with the tools to prospect for gold. Almost everything we need today was used back then. People were needed to cook and fix equipment, sell shovels and food. There was entertainment, saloons and veterinarians to take care of the horses. One common way to make a living was to work in the mines or to work for other miners on their claims.
What did people need to mine gold in the 1850s?
That depends on the location. The gold miners in California in 1849-1855 were able to "pan" gold dust from the rivers, or use "placer" mining techniques to wash dirt from the hillsides and into "rockers" that would separate gold dust from lighter dirt in the water. Later miners used picks and shovels and actually dug through "hard rock" to get to the gold veins. In fact, even now (2015) there are still "gold panners" trying to sort gold dust out of the river mud on many California rivers. Some families go "gold mining" on weekends, sometimes bringing home $200 worth of gold dust in a day's work.
