**Everyday life on the Goldfields** When GOLD was discovered in Australia about 160 years ago, people of all types and nationalities rushed to the Australian goldfields. Life on the goldfields caused mixed emotions in gold miners. They had to work hard in difficult conditions and a long way from family and home.  Your task is to **imagine that you are a gold digger**. You will be using Microsoft Word to write a journal entry or letter to your family informing them of what life is like on the goldfields.  This pathfinder will help you find the information you need (in the school library and online) to complete your task.
