Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Gympie in the south, through Mount Morgan and Canoona on the central coast, to Palmer River and Hodgkinson in the tropical north, the 19th century Queensland goldfields were a magnet for tumultuous swarms of nomadic fossickers. They were also a breeding ground for true leaders of men. ‘Dr Jack’ Hamilton he was one of those natural leaders. He healed the sick and the wounded he was a prodigious bare-knuckle puglist and he fearlessly defended the underdog. Subsequently in 1878 he became a Queensland politician and for the miners rights.

Download or read book The Biggest Ever Gold mining Swindle in the Colonies written by John Peach and published by John Peach, www.peachbooksales.com. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 591 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert Philps, later a Minister for Mines and a Queensland Premier, called it "the biggest ever mining swindle in the Colonies". He for one certainly knew, because Robert Ross himself sold Philps a swag of the Company shares in early 1888. This is the true story of multiple gold frauds by Robert Ross near Yeppoon Queensland, and a dubious Sydney Company involving many leading identities now well known in our history. Some made fortunes almost overnight and some ended up mortally wounded. The Supreme Court sessions featured most of the leading 'silks' in the Colony and even our later first Prime Minister Edmund Barton and all the sworn evidence and verdicts were meticulously recorded and then first sealed under Statute for 30 years.

Download or read book Consolidated Gold Fields in Australia written by Robert Porter and published by ANU Press. This book was released on 2020-04-29 with total page 505 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consolidated Gold Fields was a major British mining house founded by Cecil Rhodes in 1892. Diversifying from its South African gold interests, the company invested widely during the following century. This included investments in the Western Australian gold sector from the 1920s and exploration and mining activities elsewhere in Australia and the Territory of New Guinea. In the 1960s, Consolidated Gold Fields Australia (CGFA) was formed. CGFA had ambitious plans and the financial backing from London to establish itself as one of the main diversified mining companies in Australia. Investments were held in the historic Mount Lyell Mining and Railway Company, in Renison, and it was one of the first groups to develop iron ore deposits in the Pilbara of Western Australia. It also acquired a major interest in mineral sands. While the London-based Consolidated Gold Fields ceased to exist in 1989, taken over and dismembered by renowned corporate raider Hanson Plc, its Australian subsidiary, renamed Renison Goldfields Consolidated (RGC), continued for another nine years as a diversified mining group before it suffered its own corporate demise, facilitated by Hanson. CGFA and RGC were important participants in Australia’s post–World War II mining sector. This book is a history of a once great British mining-finance house and its investments in Australia. Consolidated Gold Fields had a rich and broad history in Australia; its ultimate fate did not demonstrate its potential as an Australian mining company.

Download or read book The Golden Madness writings from the Queensland Gold Rush written by James Moylan and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-03-09 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains a small selection of my favorite writings relating to the gold rush period in Queensland. I hope to provide the reader with a glimpse of the everyday topics and events that were of interest to the pioneer miners in the north of Australia. By largely avoiding sterile historical accounts in favor of primary texts in which personal opinions and first person observations are unselfconsciously expressed I endeavor to provide a sense of the social complexities of this era. The 'common sense' of this period is not our common sense. Many of the sentiments and prejudices expressed are jarring to a modern sensibility. Racist attitudes are unambiguously expressed. Empire is a stolid reality. Women are inferior to men. The 'great chain of being' provides an all-encompassing teleology by which all things under heaven might be ordered. Please enjoy a journey to the strangest land of them all - the past. James Moylan Researcher & Author
