== What was Gobur like in the late 1870's ==
The Alexandra Times set out the story of '''Godfrey's Creek''', in 1870 called '''Gobur''', from the time of a classic gold rush with all the initial excitement of a new field.
As time went bye the community of tents was replaced by more and more woden buildings.
Gobur was a hard living community, but it soon developed many of the trimings of community, including hotels, shops, a school and church.
Soon the surface mining was replaced by companies who followed the gold underground.
The mines needed machinery and men who worked in shifts and for wages.
Often the gold in a mine would suddenly run out.
Some of the mine owners made a fortune, many of the minersstruggled to put food on the table.
A similar story is often told in history books, but there are few other contempory accounts.

Large numbers left for the Archeron rush in 1870
Atleast by 1872 the Gobur mining field had gone from a gold rush with lots of small scale operators to one or two large scale industrial mines.
The main mine was the '''New Gobur Company'''. Its six owners employed large scale machinery to extract gold ore from deap underground. The miners worked foe wages in shifts 24 hours a day. Other mines in town were the '''Triumph''' and the '''Victory'''. A few other miners went over the old diggings and found a few crumbs (Alexandra27/9/1873)
Population employed in area in 1873, 400
Gobur was a small rural community by the late 1870s, but in the great days of '''Godfrey's Creek''' it had twice the population of Alexandra. Its name changed to Gobur in 1870
