Maureen M Leadbeater
Searchable database of gold diggers from South Australia who brought or sent their gold home from the Victorian goldfields. It includes those who deposited gold at the SA Gold Assay Office in February 1852, the consignors and consignees associated with the first three mounted police escorts, and those who lost their receipts or failed to claim their gold by 29 October 1853. Records of the later escorts have not survived.
