Slide - DIGGERS & MINING. GETTING THE GOLD, c1855
Diggers & Mining. Getting the Gold. Slide: The evils of shepherding soon became obvious; shepherds often prospered by the ruin of parties who really worked their claims. The Ballarat diggers, through their local Court, abolished shepherding in 1855, and instituted a complicated 'frontage' system which, in effect, guaranteed the diggers who went to the expense and hardship of sinking a shaft the right to work a section of the lead. Markings: 58 994.LIF:4. Used as a teaching aid.hanimounteducation, tertiary, goldfields -
