The young Colony of Queensland felt cheated!After-all, they had provided the bulk of the 'digger' population.Moreton Bay and Ipswich had supplied the 'diggings' with food and goods, as well as a 'gold escort', only to be outsmarted by their southern neighbours.Our story chronicles the year 1859 and the effects of the Tooloom Gold Rush during that crucial formative year.\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Garry Gatfield,Jane Eberhardt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0648318419\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780648318415\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grosvenor Creations\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.41d","brand":"Garry Gatfield","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47757772095743,"sku":"9780648318415","price":29.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1d44a4c1-822b-4a32-870b-5b97080145f4.jpg?v=1765510562","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tooloom-gold-rush-1859-garry-gatfield-9780648318415","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
