This detailed history of Morinish and the surrounding goldfields (near Rockhampton, Australia) between the 1850s and the 1910s explores the relationships between the mining and pastoral industries which competed and co-existed there. It contains detailed biographies of the families who lived and worked in the district during those years, along with useful lists drawn from archival sources which may help guide other researchers of this important goldfield.
