Hi guys welcome back to another blog post.
Today I'm going to be showing you what I have done in the last 2 periods. Yesterday I made a blog about what I knew about the Gold Rush. Well today I have learnt some more thing about it that I would like to share with you. Here are some facts that I have read and put into my own words. Hope you enjoy.
People from different places around NZ rushed overnight to get to Otago for their share of gold. Some people even came over from Australia and also in the North Island of NZ
Around 1861 Denidin became NZ most popular town because people were rushing through their to get to the goldfields and heavy hit places were all the gold was being found.
During the gold rush people lived in caves in tremendous weather with only 1 blanket. They also just lived in a tent that was near by some of the gold fields and rivers.
Gabriel Read was the first man to find gold in a valley and they name it Gabriel's Gully. He was one of the richest men around when the gold rush was happening.
People from all around the world had come to NZ to go get gold from Gabriel's Gully and rivers nearby. NZ was Packed!!
The Chinese hear about the gold rush in 1879 and than quickly rushed to were the gold rush was happening and worked their for a while.
The miners didn't really like the Chinese because they didn't know them or who they were. People from England had never seen a Chinese person before this and they didn't like them because they weren't the same as they were. That is what Discrimination is and now day it is not acceptable.
I hope you guys enjoyed this. Have a nice rest of the day and week. BYE
