BEECHWORTH'S TELEGRAPH
Gold Rush and Early Settlement
Gold was found in 1852 starting a "Rush" bringing thousands from around the world. They came to get rich. 14,000 golden ounces were transported to Melbourne each fortnight. A year later, Beechworth was a town with an instant population, commercial shops, and 60 hotels turning into Australia’s Wild West. Outlaws, claim jumpers, water rights disputes, racial altercations. A town with little law.
The Telegraph and Beechworth
This book is a fascinating read about the long-awaited arrival of the Electric Telegraph championed by Samuel Morse.
