[QUOTE="Guest, post: 540208"] G'day No I didn't find it, the story was one I read it may have been in an old copy of gold gem and treasure magazine or something similar, they also said that it was common for diggers to up and scatter overnight when news of a new rush was heard so I guess it was first in best dressed when it came to getting some viable ground on a new gold field and also as there were outbreaks of typhoid in a lot of places due to poor sanitation, diggers crapping everywhere and when it rained the water sources were becoming polluted and making them all sick, so some would have also bugged out for that reason too I suspect. cheers stayyerAU [/QUOTE]
