‘Makin’ Wages’

a chronicle of the Meroo Goldfields
​1850-1856
‘..when the honourable the Legislative Council saw that many headed animal of burden, ‘the mob’, so much excited by the gold fever, they were afraid it might go on to delirium, and then the animal would become unmanageable..’
(‘The Bullock Driver’ in the Bathurst Free Press and Mining Journal, 19th of March, 1853)
