Gold: A Pictorial History of the Australian Goldrush includes more than 300 illustrations, from collections around the world. From beautifully detailed paintings to wittily observed sketches of everyday goldfields life, this rich collection of engravings, photographs, paintings and ephemera combine with written narrative to tell the story of the heady days that followed the discovery of gold in Australia.

Geoff Hocking has brought together a consummate collection of images and colourful stories of the characters who rushed to Australia.
