What was the cradle used for in the gold rush?
The cradle separates dirt, clay and gravel from gold. As the miner rocks the cradle, water washers threw the dirt, separating out the gold. Cradling required at least two men to work. The cradle had a grate and a sieve. The dirt and sediment to be sifted through was emptied onto the grate in the cradle. The cradle was rocked quickly back and forth (in the action of a cradle) while water was poured over the sediment to help work it through. The grate stopped coarser stones from going through, while the fine material was sifted out the other end. The gold would be left behind for easy collection.

What method did Edward Hargraves use to find gold in Bathurst?
Edward Hargraves is credited with introducing the cradle as a means for finding gold in Australia. This was a method he had seen used on the Californian goldfields. Cradling involved a wooden box loosely resembling a cradle. The cradle was used for sifting through larger amounts of sediment to find gold, and was popular from the early times of the goldrushes. It required at least two men to work. The cradle had a grate and a sieve. The dirt and sediment to be sifted through was emptied onto the grate in the cradle. The cradle was rocked quickly back and forth (in the action of a cradle) while water was poured over the sediment to help work it through. The grate stopped coarser stones from going through, while the fine material was sifted out the other end. The gold would be left behind for easy collection.

What were gold cradles and how were they used?
A cradle for sifting gold was a box up to a metre wide and 2m in length, with handles to enable it to be "rocked" back and forth to sift gold-bearing dirt. The dirt would fall through a sieve to the ground below, sometimes aided with buskets of water to wash it through, and the larger flecks of gold would remain above the sieve. Dry cradles were used where there was little water. Gold cradles often required four men to operate them effectively but they could work through a lot of dirt more quickly than other methods. For pictures of the gold cradle, see the weblink below.

Who was the first person to cradle for gold in Australia?
The first people to use an actual cradle, also known as a rocker, to find gold in Austalia, were John Lister and William Tom. These men were introduced to the cradle by Edward Hargraves, who had first seen the equipment used in the Californian goldfields. Hargraves, after studying the geology of the land west of Sydney, was convinced that it was gold-bearing country. He enlisted the help of Lister, who in turn was helped by Tom, and showed the men how to use the cradle to look for gold.
