NO! Many miners found it difficult to mine, sleep and other things. It takes a very long time to get to town and back to the goldfields. The reason they go to town is so they can get more food for the goldfields. Also the flies which are just so annoying. Miners didn't like the Chinese. They had to pay fees every month and cost 30 shillings. Miners hated this so in 1854 the started a rebellion at the Eureka Stockade and fought the soldiers of Victoria but lost the battle. They lost the battle but won the war. The government abolished the license and replaced it with the miners rights.
