Riassunto:

"One of the first national historic sites of Australia, the historic gold-rush town Hill End is profiled in this account of the day-to-day life of its residents. The prominence of the region's gold rush is demythologized to reveal the distinct histories of the Wiradjuri people; convicts who occupied the Wiradjuri lands, miners from China, Germany, Britain and Ireland; and the farming community that endured for generations after the boom ended. Documentary evidence, artifacts, visual representations, and memories are used to explore the multiple social layers of this notable site of Australian cultural tourism."
