[QUOTE="loamer, post: 39274, member: 981"] Eureka: The Unfinished Revolution - by Peter FitzSimons I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in gold history in Australia. he also wrote Tobruk and Kokoda, both equally as good. It covers the NSW goings-on as well. Same licencing issues were being faced by the NSW crew as well. For the Ballarat crew, some excellent history of your fine city including some places and events I was unaware of. Also discusses technique and technology, false bottoms, drives, wet working and the like. One bit made me laugh - the diggers had to carry their licences at all times. they were paper and even if working in water had to be carried - no exceptions. funny thing is, we Victorians STILL have to carry the original at all times. Luckily we have plastic but even a certified true copy does not apply I have been told. 'Down with the traps - viva la republic!!" "Down with the bunyip aristocracy" He makes a good point why the Southern Cross Flag can't be our national flag - been hijacked by the right wing nationalists and the unions - pity, it's my favourite Australian flag. Good hunting folks. 'Live Long and Prospect" [/QUOTE]
