Summary

Teetulpa near Yunta in the Flinders Ranges. The gold rush began in 1868. It was at Teetulpa that more gold was found than anywhere else at the time. By the end of 1886 there were more than 5000 men on the goldfields. A lack of water meant the miners used a dry blowing technique of gold mining similar to that used in the Western Australian goldfields.
