Edward Hargraves
Edward Hargraves is a man who was born in Skipton, England in 1811. He had lots of careers, like a sailor, publican, shopkeeper, adventurer, and surprisingly, a gold prospector! He heard about the gold rush in California, so he traveled there to hopefully find gold. Unfortunately, he was unsuccessful to strike it rich. Later then, he came to Australia to see if he could find any gold. While searching, he met a man called John Lister. John Lister told Edward that he discovered gold at Bathurst. Edward Hargraves was very keen to spread the word as much as he can to as many people
