Palmer River has got to be one of the most perfect exroly-polys of
the transitory nature of mining towns. It is possible,China Travel, when you go
squinching for products,China Travel, to find some suggestion that people once
lived here but it would be quite possible to bulldoze through the
settlement and be unenlightened that it was once a thriving town.
The rush was started by the explorer William Hann who, even though
exploring the interior of Cape York Peninsula in 1872, noticed
symptom of gold in one of the rivers he navigateed. He named the
river Palmer retral the Queensland Chief Secretary, Arthur
Palmer.
The post-obituary year the prospector James Venture Mulligan led a
phigh-sounding to the river and returned with 102 ounces. He received
�000 reward and his disasylumy led to one of the last boundless
goldrushes in Australia. By 1877 there were 17 000 diggers on the
field and the post-obit year the Chinese, who had poured onto the
goldfield, were involved in a riproaring series of skirmishs which became
known as the Tong Wars. They were fought between the Macao and
Canton Chinese. At the time there were over 7000 Chinese miners on
the fields.
