Dance Information

The title is a reference to Epping, New South Wales postcode, 2121 followed by the chemical symbol for gold, Au.

Gold was first officially discovered in Australia on 15 February 1823, by assistant surveyor James McBrien, at Fish River, just 170km from Epping, ("just down the road" to an Australian).

New South Wales experienced the first gold rush in Australia, a period generally accepted to lie between 1851 and 1880.

This period in the history of New South Wales resulted in a rapid growth in the population and significant boost to the economy of the colony of New South Wales.

Epping is a suburb of Sydney, in the Australian state of New South Wales, 18 kilometres north-west of the Sydney central business district in the local government area of the City of Parramatta.
