AU Author. The discovery of gold in California in 1848 saw thousands of men rush from Australian colonies to try their luck in America. Then in 1851 fresh from their success in the American goldfields, Edward Hargreaves and James Esmond began an Australian goldrush that turned the world 'topsy-turvey'.
