What effect did mining gold in Australia have on the aboriginal people?
The most notable effect that the mining of gold had on the Australian Aborigines was the loss of the native lands as settlement spread further inland. Aborigines were forced further into the semi-arid interior, losing their rich hunting grounds of the bushland. The rush of diggers to the goldfields increased the problems of displacement of the Aborigines from their own land. The effects of gold mining on the land were devastating and long-lasting. Gold mining ripped up the land, polluted the rivers and creeks, and left nothing for the aboriginal people who had lived there for centuries. Aborigines were again dispossessed of their land as they had been time and time again since the arrival of the Europeans. After having been forced off tribal lands by settlers and pastoralists, the goldrush forced even more Aborigines deeper into the interior. However, it must also be noted that, with the new wealth of the country and expanding farming land, many Aborigines were given opportunities to work on the sheep and cattle stations. The cost of European labour had increased dramatically with the goldrush, and Aborigines were seen as a cheap alternative. Aborigines rarely bothered to look for gold, but they were able to trade with the miners. Some of them even became members of the Native Police Corps, and many were employed as "black trackers". The aboriginal people saw little value in gold for themselves. Gold not be eaten; it could not be used in any practical ways. The Aborigines benefitted more by offering their services as guides to potential diggers looking for new sites. Also, with the wave of workers leaving sheep and cattle stations for the goldfields, Aborigines had better prospects with employment there, rather than the goldfields. See the link below for more information on how Aborigines benefitted from the gold rush.
How did the Aborigines help Charles Sturt?
Sturt was an explorer who made a point of trying to befriend Aborigines along his journey. As a result, they stopped his party from being ambushed. The main incident was when a large group of rather aggressive-looking Aborigines awaited him near the junction of the Murray and Darling Rivers. As they raised their spears and Sturt reluctantly ordered his men to raise their weapons ready to fire, a tall warrior whom Sturt had befriended upriver came rushing down and, judging by his gesturing and manner of speech, persuaded the large group of Aborigines not to attack. This warrior was regarded with great respect by other tribes, so he was apparently a type of ambassador among the tribes of the area. A similar thing happened when Sturt ventured into the desert in search of the inland sea he thought must exist. Again, he met with a group of Aborigines, and one of these took on the role of ambassador, introducing Sturt to other groups of Aborigines they came across during their trek. These Aborigines subsequently helped Sturt by offering him shelter and water, and even roasting a duck. They also tried to indicate to Sturt that there was no water to be found to the east, but Sturt went that way anyhow.
