Twenty-year old Ellen Clacy and her brother travelled from England to the Australian goldfields at the start of the ‘gold rush’ in 1852, when thousands of people from around the world were arriving at the gold ‘diggings’, hoping to make their fortunes.

This is a (relatively!) short, Easy-Read adaptation of Ellen Clacy’s best-selling book about her Australian adventures.

It has Book Club questions after each chapter, making it perfect for a discussion group or reading club at upper intermediate level (EAL 4). This book club version of the book is available in photocopiable pdf format or  as a library paperback.
