"Mark John Hammond was born in Sydney in 1844. When gold fever swept the colony in 1851 Mark's father who had been a farmer broken by a bad season joined the rush to the west. He was to return and take with him his family to the Braidwood goldfields. So at the age of nine Mark became a miner. For the next twenty years he continued to dig for gold, trying his luck on ten different New South Wales goldfields.
