Description
The Goldfields Re-Imagined: Militant Miners, Miscreants and Poor Mary Jane.
By Marjorie Theobald.
This is a lively and engaging series of chapters about women, convicts, shysters, aristocrats and politicians in the Castlemaine goldrush. There is a piece about Castlemaine’s remarkable but little known Gold Commissioner (then Warden) Captain John Edward Newell Bull, and his attempts to care for the environment by combating the puddlers. Captain Bull is an unsung hero of the colonial government, with visionary foresight about the environment and society’s future needs.
