Description

Dr Charles Fahey introduces the diary of intrepid Cornish migrant, Richard Pope. This talk examines Pope's working life below ground in the dank deep lead mines of Ballarat and dusty quartz mines of Bendigo, and also his daily life and the community in both gold cities. Before retirement, Dr Charles Fahey taught history at La Trobe University's metropolitan and regional campuses. In 2020, he was a joint author with Richard Broome, Katie Holmes and Andrea Gaynor of 'Mallee Country, Land People History' (Monash Publishing).
