Hello welcome back to my blog today I am going to talk about my ready/ social study's. We have read and article called Bright Find Gold. We had to to some task like some interesting facts about the gold mine. Our next task was we had to do some task's about the Chinese.
This is my first task about the gold mine. Gold was discovered near the Tuapeka River in 1861.
Prospectors spent long days shovelling gravel from stream beds into metal pans or wooden
cradles to find gold. Most of the more successful mining towns went on to have pubs, banks,
churches, theatres, schools, and newspapers. By 1865, a new gold rush was happening on the
West Coast at Okarito, Bruce Bay. The gold was from rocks and in sand in river beds.
This is my Chinese gold mine facts. Chinese miners were encouraged to come and rework the
Otago goldfields. They built small stone houses away from the other miners. These miners, who
were mostly from southern China, called New Zealand Sun Kum Shan or the New Gold Mountain.
Arrow town. As well as European supplies, his shop sold Chinese teas, medicines, salted garlic,
pickled lemons, and shrimp sauce.
Thank you for looking at my blog hope you enjoyed.
