Here’s off to the diggings of gold
Australia’s our home where wealth is untold
Up, Up with your pick, take your shovel in hand.
Here’s off, Here’s off to a happier land
We dread not the voyage, though distant and long
We’ve a compass to steer by, our arms they are strong.
And ne’re into misery unheeded we’ll fall
While Melbourne’s rich goldfields are open to all.

Owner at Outback Family History
My name is Moya Sharp, I live in Kalgoorlie Western Australia and have worked most of my adult life in the history/museum industry. I have been passionate about history for as long as I can remember and in particular the history of my adopted home the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia. Through my website I am committed to providing as many records and photographs free to any one who is interested in the family and local history of the region.
