Lively and evocative, this record uncovers the rich history of the former gold, silver, and copper mining communities that once existed in New South Wales, Australia. Focusing on the towns, camps, and communities that developed around mines and the people associated with them, this record explores the impact of mining on the growth and decline of these communities, the development of society and culture, and the environment of the region. It concludes with a discussion on contemporary mining and the future of mining heritage sites.
