Was Edward Hargraves a discoverer of gold or a trickster?
This is a matter of considerable debate. Edward Hargraves is credited with being the first to officially find payable gold in Australia, and thus is credited with starting the goldrush in Australia. He purported to find gold at Summerhill Creek, at a place he named Ophir, near Bathurst, New South Wales. However, he was not the actual, physical discoverer of the gold. The true discoverer was a man named John Lister, with the help of his friends, the Tom brothers. Neither Lister nor the Tom brothers were given the credit. Having said that, however, they certainly used the knowledge and equipment (such as the cradle) that Hargraves brought from the Californian goldfields to enable them to find the gold. Debate continued well into the 20th century about to whom the credit was due, and in the end, a court of inquiry found that Lister was deserving of the credit. Nonetheless, Hargraves was the one who originally received the rewards.

Hargraves instructed Lister and two brothers, James and William Tom, in panning and mining techniques he had learned in California, and their persistence paid handsome dividends with the discovery of substantial gold.
