Live on the gold fields. I have learnt so much about the gold rush. I  have learnt that the Eureka stockade was started by people that thought the gold license were silly. I also learnt that the Eureka Hotel burnt because someone was didn’t go to jail after he killed someone when people saw the murder and he was allowed to walk the streets because he was friends with the traps.

I learnt that if you had a business on the goldfields you need a license for that. Kids were see not heard it was not common for kids to ask questions but now teacher expert questions. Live as a Aboriginal was very hard because they were call animals and not people, Chinese had a different camp and one day people came and cut there hair and pushed them out of the goldfields and told them to go back to China.

Traps were very unliked because they always bothered you so you payed them to go way. The traps are why people made the Eureka stockade. Everyone hated the traps if they weren’t your friend. That why someone got to walk the streets again. Live was very unfair.

The streets were very dusty and the buildings were on the one street the Main Street. The gold field was like a big town. People lived in tents with a fire and some fabric beds. At night it was very cold and you only had a sheet to keep you warm at night which didn’t work so you were so cold at night. In the day you have one outfit for the whole week and on Sunday you had church so you wore your best outfit.

Did you know that?
