Gold Escort

A pen and ink watercolour painting of the Gold Escort in Victoria by W. Drummond (1852)

Gold Escorts were common across Australian goldfields, transporting mined and processed material from mines to banks and mints across the country.

They were important in safely transporting gold, and were in most cases carried out by police assisted units.[1][2][3][4][5]
