Description

Goldfields of the South by John Hall-Jones is an illustrated review of the gold rush days in the deep south of New Zealand. Compiled in the format of the popular Gold Trail series it ranges from great quartz crushing batteries in remote Preservation Inlet to the more accessible mines of Orepuki, Roundhill (the largest Chinatown in New Zealand), the Mataura (where gold was discovered as early as 1856), the Nokomai, Waikaia (Switzers) and Potters. In his enthusiasm for unearthing old historic sites John Hall-Jones tramps into each goldfield and lines up old photographs with the scene as it is today. The last of the miners of each goldfield are tracked down and their reminiscences recorded in the text.' Light rubbing and a slight crease on the top corner of the front cover but overall a very tidy copy.
