The fascinating, troubling legacy of the gold rush
Everyone
knows gold made Victoria rich. But did you know gold mining was
disastrous for the land, engulfing it in floods of sand, gravel and silt
that gushed out of the mines?
Or that this environmental devastation still affects our rivers and floodplains?
Victorians
had a name for this mining waste: ‘sludge’. Sludge submerged Victoria’s
best grapevines near Bendigo, filled Laanecoorie Reservoir on the
Loddon River and flowed down from Beechworth over thousands of hectares
of rich agricultural land. Children and animals drowned in sludge lakes.
Mining effluent contaminated three-quarters of Victoria’s creeks and
rivers.
Sludge is the compelling story of the forgotten
filth that plagued nineteenth-century Victoria. It exposes the big dirty
secret of Victoria’s mining history – the way it transformed the
state’s water and land, and how the battle against sludge helped lay the
ground for the modern environmental movement.
