Martha Clendinning
One woman who ran a successful store on the Ballarat
goldfields was Martha Clendinning. Her husband,
George, was a doctor who brought his wife to Victoria
from England in 1852. He travelled to the goldfields with
his brother-in-law to look for gold, leaving Martha with
her sister in Melbourne. However, Martha and her sister
decided to follow their husbands and walk the ninety-five
miles to Ballarat. They brought with them bedsteads,
mattresses, blankets, chairs and cooking utensils on
a bullock dray and planned to set up a store on the
diggings.
