William Hann (1837 - 1889) was a pastoralist and explorer in northern Queensland, Australia. His expedition in 1872 found the first indications of the Palmer River goldfield. He was born in Wiltshire, England, on 26 February 1837. Fellow explorer Frank Hann was his younger brother. The first gold was found by Frederick Warner the expedition's surveyor on 6 August and further deposits were located on following days. However Hann thought they were not in commercial quantity; as a result James Venture Mulligan who in 1873 followed up Hann's report and announced richer deposits is credited with the discovery. An obituary notice from ''The Queenslander'', Brisbane, dated 21 September 1889 read: In addition to the above obituary, the following article appeared in the ''Brisbane Courier'', dated 6 April 1889, suggesting that the drowning was not accidental and took place at night. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「William Hann」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
