Summary

Would you have gone to the goldfields? Obadiah and Elizabeth 'flabbergasted frightfully' when they heard their three children, Daniel, Walter and Sarah, were considering leaving England and joining the goldrush to the Antipodes - the Australian Goldfields. The children expected to find gold and to make 'their everlasting fortune' Their parents could only see the terrible dangers involved in what they considered 'a foolhardy adventure.' Obadiah and Elizabeth concluded a warning letter they wrote to Walter, Daniel and Sarah with this desperate plea: 'PLEASE, PLEASE DO NOT GO TO THE GOLDFIELDS.' Do you think they should go?
