Raffaello Carboni

A number of Italian speakers from Northern Italy and the Italian speaking Swiss Canton of Ticino arrived in Australia in search of gold. Many of these immigrants first settled at Jim Crow (Daylesford) where around 10 percent of the population spoke Italian in the late 1950s.[1]

Italian born Raffaello Carboni was used to translate the message of the Ballarat Reform League to non-English speaking residents of Ballarat. He wrote the only eye-witness account of Eureka.[2]
