This project involved a collaboration between Aspire Foundation (Catholic Diocese of Sandhurst), the City of Greater Bendigo, and Chief Investigators from La Trobe’s Albury Wodonga, Bendigo, and Bundoora campuses, and the University of Western Australia. Researching Bendigo’s faith history, part of gold-mining’s cultural ‘melting pot’ experience, assisted local and wider communities to understand the role of belief and religion in histories of negotiated co-existence. This project re-discovered, interpreted and shared knowledge about diversity and difference the during the gold rush, and on the goldfields until today, through a public symposium, a number of scholarly articles and a forthcoming edited book written for a general audience.
