According to the Wikipedia link below: The Coolgardie Safe is a low-tech refrigeration unit which uses the heat transfer which occurs during evaporation of water. See the link for more. The Coolgardie Safe was commonly used in colonial Australia. It consisted of a metal "safe" with screen-wire-like holes, which was hung outside on a verandah. Food which needed to be cool was placed inside the safe. Over the safe was placed a hessian cloth, dampened, so that as the breeze blew through the cloth, it cooled down the food inside. The safe hung from the ceiling, and often had a tin cup placed around the wire from which it hung, filled with water, so that ants could not descend the wire and get to the food.

The gold rush began in Western Australia when prospectors Arthur Bayley and William Ford found a rich reef of gold in 1892, which they named "Bayley's Reward" at the site of Coolgardie, a small town which lies about 570km east of Perth, Western Australia.Irishman Paddy Hannan discovered gold at Mount Charlotte, less than 40 kilometres from the Coolgardie Goldfields, a year later in 1893, sparking off the Kalgoorlie goldrush.
How long did the gold rush lasted?
The goldrush lasted for several decades. Realistically, it could be said to extend from the first "official" gold strikes in 1851 through to the gold discoveries in Western Australia (Coolgardie and Kalgoorlie) in the 1890s.
