Gold & Chinese in Australia 1851-1900s by Derrick I StoneDescription
In a single volume Gold & Chinese identifies over 80 goldfields where Chinese goldseekers ventured and where they worked, worshipped, socialised and played. Snap-shot histories include items of significant Chinese heritage held in Temples, museums and by private individuals. Mining relics include stacked-stone shafts and walls, tunnels, sluiced cliffs, water-races, dams, puddlers and equipment. Heritage items include Temples, Imperial Dragons, costumes, Chinese Opera figurines, scroll-plaques, wheelbarrows, artefacts and utilitarian utensils such as teapots and cups, chopsticks, brown glazed vessels and ginger jars. Historic photographs and contemporary paintings clearly show the architecture, topography and living conditions of the early days of Chinese goldmining.Publication Details
