Why was the Coolgardie Safe needed in the goldfields in Western Australia in the 1890s?
The Coolgardie safe was not just used in the goldfields: it was used commonly throughout Australia in colonial times, and prior to the advent of refrigeration. The Coolgardie safe consisted of a mesh cage, raised off the ground by a rope, and surrounded by canvas or other material which was kept moist. Meat and dairy products were placed in the cage, and as the breeze blew through the canvas, it would help keep the food cooler. The safe was suspended by a rope to prevent ants getting to the food. In colonial times, which included the goldrush era, there was no other way to keep food cool, except to dig deep cellars underground. The Coolgardie safe was simple and practical.
