MY LIFE ON THE GOLD FIELDS.
Who I am • I am Sally Adams I come from America. I lived in California so I was experienced in the gold rush. My family knew what they were doing because we were in the gold rush in California. I have one brother and one sister there names are Matilda and Jhon.
The first thing we did was go and get supplies.
• we went to the supply shop first
What we bought • I bought 5lbs of flour this can make damper that will last us 10 days. My dad bought 2lbs of tea this will last us 2 weeks. We bought 2lbs of mutton but this only lasts 8 days. We got one water proof tent and some blankets.
• The next thing we did was go and get a permit. My dad put his name on it his name is Steve.
• Next we choses weather we were doing alluvial mining or shaft. We chose Shaft.
What tools we needed. • We needed 4 tools to do shaft mining.
• We went to the tool shop and bought what we needed.
To the gold fields. • We are now on the gold fields its really exiting to be here. This is what it looks like.
The first day. • It is our first day on the gold fields and we are about to go mining. We got 90 ounces of gold we got heaps of money and we are ready for tomorrow.
The next day • Today we earned even more money it was really fun.
Our last few days • It is now coming to the end of our journey and we are going back to America in 3 days. We have all had so much fun and really enjoyed being on the gold fields. Mum and Dad say we might come back to Australia in a few years. I am sad to leave but look forward to seeing all my friends and family back home.
