My Great Great Grandmother Evans arrived from Cornwall in England on a sailing ship. After a long and perilous journey, they landed at Geelong in 1857. They travelled overland by bullock dray with their possessions, to the Goldfields at Creswick, near Ballarat. While they lived at Creswick the miners at Eureka Stockade rose up in revolt under Peter Lalor, whose arm was injured in fire from a policeman's musket. My great great grandmother, who was a trained nurse, helped Dr Gosling to amputate his lower arm.
