Ross, gold rush town

Ross, gold rush town 


A map of the goldfield.
The prison.
I don't need to write anything extra as I took photos of all the signs as we only had twenty minutes here and that is not enough time to see and read everything.
de Bakker cottage...
...and several pictures of the insides...





The sign...
...and the actual structure, used to pump water for sluicing the gold out of the gravel.
The sign...
...and the hole left after mining now filled with water.




We are in New Zealand but some colonial era operations were run out of Australia such as this bank which was the official gold buyer.

Inside the museum.
