it depends on what job you were looking for
It had hydraulic mining and hard-rock mining
No, it is not.

gold mining is dangerous because you have to get money and have a lot of money and gold mining is hard
- Xantipipe is the only place in Australia starting with 'X'- located in Western Australia (WA- it's a state), it is supposedly named after Socrates' wife, both her and the land there found was hard and virtually impenetrable. :)
Mining for gold was very hard work. This was because gold usually came in very small pieces and was hard to extract from the rock it was imbedded in .
The two types of gold mining are placer mining and hard rock mining. Placer mining involves extracting gold from deposits of sand, gravel, and other sediments in rivers and streams. Hard rock mining involves extracting gold from underground ore bodies through drilling, blasting, and processing the ore.

Both open-pit and underground mining is done in Australia, producing a range of materials including gold, copper, silver, uranium, zinc, nickel and iron. Australia is also responsible for producing around 95% of the world's opal supply. Some of the more famous coal mines in Australia are the Hunter Valley Mines, which produce up to 11 million tonnes of coal annually. Mining has been going strong in Australia since the gold rushes of the mid 1800's. Although coal was discovered earlier than this, it was slow to get up and running as a viable economic resource for the country, however Australia is now the world's biggest exporter of coal, and it is responsible for a large majority of the country's electricity supply. Hundreds of people work in mining jobs all over Australia and reap the rewards of their hard work.
Oh, dude, like, open-pit mines are more common in western Canada because of the abundance of low-grade ore deposits near the surface, making it easier and cheaper to extract. Also, the terrain in western Canada is often more suitable for open-pit mining compared to underground mining, so, like, why not go with the flow, right?
