Blasting the rock, hauling it to the surface and draining and shoring the shafts and tunnels required significant capital investment and labour, resulting in the development of company mining where miners worked as employees ( Woodland, 2014 ).

02.06.2021Victoria's first officially recognised gold discovery was in 1850 near Clunes, almost 40 kilometres north of Ballarat. In 1851, the Victorian Government offered a reward of 200 to anyone finding gold within 200 miles (320 kilometres) of Melbourne. Within six months, gold was discovered in Clunes, and then Ballarat, Castlemaine and Bendigo.

One was to strip other rivers instead, most notably the Trinity River, where the practice lasted into the mid-1900s. The other was to dredge Central Valley gravels without affecting the river.

Hydraulic mining initially began on a small scale in 1852, but soon developed into a widespread, sophisticated method of working great volumes of gold-bearing gravels. The basic idea was to aim high-powered jets of water through huge nozzles at the auriferous gravels, washing away tons upon tons of debris, after which the gold-bearing debris/sludge traveled through a deep cut or
