These three subtle lines have a lot to recount, Barbara. A gold stampede and the rest is history! Well done! ~ Regards // paul

Simple but true. An Australian, Edward Hargreaves noticed the terrain was the same around his home place so he went back and discovered Gold and started a Gold Rush in Australia.
