[edit] Photos

It would be nice to have a photo of the Gabriel's Gully area (or any other major Otago Gold Rush area) Brian | (Talk) 01:51, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Nearest I've got that would be useful is the one on the Naseby, New Zealand page. I wish I'd taken a photo of the miner's monument at Kyeburn when I went through there a couple of months back... Grutness...wha? 02:36, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
Te Ara has some images, can we use them? Brian | (Talk) 02:49, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
The 1862 photo would be out of copyright, so I think that should be okay (but I'm not a lawyer). The other one looks too modern. -- Avenue 03:17, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chinese

IMO a part about the Chinese miners should be added, the attitudes of community towards Chinese miners, and that Chinese worked over old ground, and managed to get the more finely-ground gold, that the every one else didn't make the effort to get. Chinese_New_Zealander#Early_Immigrants <-- there is some info here. Brian | (Talk) 02:38, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Definitely - mention should probably be made of the restored Chinese miners' village at Lawrence, too. Grutness...wha? 03:26, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
