Puddling machines of the Victorian Goldfields | Goldfields
Puddling machines, or quot;puddlersquot; were pioneered on the Victorian goldfields in 1854. This technology was developed as an affordable way of processing goldbearing clay on a large scale. Puddling machines are a very significant development in the history of Victorian gold mining, as they are the only technology or method developed entirely on the Victorian Goldfields.
