My Time on The Gold Fields
Introduction • My Name Is Henry Keen • I have come from England to find gold.
Shaft Mining • I chose Shaft Mining because my mates had told me that you get the most gold from underground
The First time I went digging for gold I didn’t buy a cradle so I had to go back to town and buy one. I lost four days going back to town.
My Second Attempt • First I got all my tools so I wouldn’t run out of money. These are my tools:
• Then I went and bought all my supplies. I bought: Mutton, Flour, Tea, Blankets and a tent.
To The Goldfeilds! • I went really well until my Mutton went off. I chose not to go back to town to buy more,but that was a mistake. Soon after I became extremely hungry and had to go back to town.
At the Town • I have arrived back in town • I didn’t have enough money to buy some more mutton, so I bought as much flour as I could for damper instead.
At the Goldfeilds • I resumed My Digging.
Gold! • I found Gold! • All My Hard Work Paid Off and I earnt 178 pounds.
The End
• Thus ends The Story Of my mining experience.
