[QUOTE="Hawkear, post: 670107, member: 4728"] I can only think all of the above. Genuine friendships were were no doubt forged in those harsh times, and genuine wishes for the success of friends likewise. There were also many ‘new chum gullys‘ recorded, no doubt from encumbent diggers wishing to misinform new comers to dig In relatively poor areas to avoid competition in areas they knew to be richer. For those neighbouring diggers on the richer areas perhaps from the perspective of friendship or just in an endeavour to help identify even better prospects, sharing of information would have been beneficial.
