‘The Gold Robbers’ is an outraged exposé of Australian depravity at the time of the Victorian gold rush.

With murders, rapes and a public execution, this book – and its author – where shunned from best society.

The descriptions of both Melbourne and Ballarat are full of life and give the modern reader an insight into what life must have been like in these frontier towns at the height of the early gold rush, where everyone was armed to the teeth and death was around every corner.

If you have an interest in Australian history, the gold rush, or even if you just like a good melodrama, ‘The Gold Diggers’ is worth reading (from http://aviewoverthebell.blogspot.com.au/2015/03/book-review-gold-robbers-by-celeste-de.html).
