The early gold rush, with its harsh conditions, considerable adversities, and no small amount of adventure, created a generation of men unlike any other.
After the gold rush ran its course, many of these adventurous spirits turned to other professions to make ends meet, some making tucker, others accumulating great wealth from their trades.
But there were plenty of diggers who didn't let it go, who spent the rest of their lives fossicking on the fringes of society, enjoying the independent, free lifestyle they experienced during those incredible early years of the gold rush.
These enduring, pioneering gold miners were recalled in the newspapers in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, where their strong spirits and fierce independence was remarked upon and their quirky characters recalled with fondness.
