How did the diggers get their equipment to the goldfields?

Most diggers did not take much equipment. They may have taken basic picks and pans, and would have just carried them, either on horsebank or Shanks's pony (walking). Some diggers did not carry their equipment to the goldfields. They waited until they arrived, and then paid exorbitant prices at the goldfields for the items they needed.


Were there a lot of police during the Australian gold rush?

Hi, No, not many. Their job was to stop fights between diggers and enforce the law. They weren't liked by the diggers because if the diggers did not have their licence they would be sent to gaol (Jail), hanged or given the cat-o-nine tails and their gold was taken. The diggers called them Joes, Traps or Trappers. Hope this helps. Let me know if I can help anymore.
