Throughout history, gold has been the stuff of legends, fortunes,
conflict and change. The discovery of gold in Australia 150 years
ago precipitated enormous developments in the newly settled land.
Immigrants flooded in from Asia and Europe, and the population and
economy boomed in spontaneous cities. The effects on both the
environment and indigenous Aboriginal peoples have been profound
and lasting. In the most unexpected ways, gold has shaped modern
Australia. In this book, a team of Australia's most prominent
historians and curators have collaborated to produce a cultural
history of gold and its impact on the development of Australian
society. Like a handful of tailings, Gold brings together a
collection of stories that have been left out of standard
Australian histories. In between runs a critical analysis of the
relationship between gold and social change, race relations,
gender, the environment, entertainment and industry.
