Gill's 1852 Victorian diggings pictures were copied in England in early 1853. It would’ve been 6 months before he found out. Before the telegraph, that 19th century internet, an around the globe narrative was not a straight line. Time branched according to the long sailing time. I finally resolved this narration challenge by adding this as an appendix.
Gill's pictures likely sailed from Melbourne on the Eagle which carried a more notable cargo - gold now worth about $800 million.
