Gold Mining in Australia
"Gold was discovered in Australia in 1851, and the yearly value of gold export in the last fifteen years(1851-1866) has been about $50,000,000. Since that time Africa, the Yukon of Alaska have outclassed this yield. The gold is what they called alluvial gold, and is not quartz gold.The most famous gold nuggets ever discovered in the world have been tken from the alluvial soil in Australia". This information was taken off the back of the post card.
