James Tom, together with John Lister, is one of the first but uncredited discoverers of payable gold in Australia.
Edward Hargraves is generally regarded as the first to officially discover gold in Australia. Hargraves enlisted the assistance of John Lister and James Tom, men who had already found gold in the region. Lister and Tom led Hargraves directly to where gold was found, at Summerhill Creek, at a site which Hargraves named "Ophir".
Hargraves has been credited with the discovery ever since, even though, by rights, credit should go to Lister. An enquiry in 1887 proved that John Hardmann Lister and James Tom were the first one to find gold in Australia.
