Rare engraving of Hanging Rock, New South Wales.
Hanging Rock took its name from a huge cliff face that overlooked the valley below. In August 1851, while out riding his run, Nathan Burrows spotted a stockman panning for gold along Swamp Creek. The stockman had stumbled across his good fortune while washing his pannikin after a meal and found a few shiny specs. Burrows rode to Tamworth to inform the local storekeeper, William Cohen, who within a few days’ rode to Hanging Rock, along with Charles Parsons and William Blackborn, to check out Burrow’s claim and they found more gold. Thus a gold rush commenced to this area. By February 1852, 27 cradles were operating with some 200 diggers searching for their fortune.
