History
In early 1851, Edward Hargraves, a prospector who had experience in California, reported finding gold near Bathurst in New South Wales. He named the location Ophir and used panning techniques to collect gold from nearby streams. After confirming his findings, he informed colonial officials, which led to increased interest and activity in the region.
