The+Discovery+of+Gold+in+1851

**What we think:**
Ned Kelly was an Australian bush ranger and he was hung. Women couldn't vote in the 1850s People went panning for gold. Peter Lalor led the miners in a fight for their rights to mine free. Without that the population in Australia would be lower because after the gold rush thousands stayed at Australia to live. The police started to making people pay which is mainly what started the war. The miners rebelied against the police. The miners which found gold spent it straight away so it couldn't be stolen. Ned Kelly covered his head in armour except for his eyes. Most people found gold in Ballerat and Sovereighn hill in the past. You had to have a license to mine. All kids had to go to school and it was really stricked. Lots of people found gold. The fee for a permit was 30 pounds a month. Bush rangers stole gold. After the Eureka stockade the fee was 5 pounds a year. Most people lived in tents or if they were richer they lived in huts/cottages. There were people all over the world looking for gold. Everyone fom asia and europe came to Australia for some gold. Whenever they found gold they'd shout EUREKA. Many Australians went to the gold rush. The gold rush was at Soveireghn hill. Peter Layor was a major in the gold rush. FINISHED.
