Bendigo General History

1851: The original discovery at Bendigo has one strange feature, in that notwithstanding
all the reward committees between 1853 and 1866, no one lodged a claim for this discovery,and when eventually, in 1890, the matter was dealt with by the Select Committee, no less than thirteen people claimed to have been the first to get gold on the field.
