The aim of the article is to analyse the way in which Seweryn Korzeliński and Bolesław Dolański describe the geographical location of Australia (the distance that separates it from Europe). In many reports from Australia and literary texts describing the continent, written either before or after Korzeliński’s and Dolański’s memoirs, the distance that separates Australia from Europe is considered the main characteristic feature that determines the way in which other Australian phenomena are regarded. The article discusses the interesting way in which the two authors present Australian geographical location and the purpose this literary interpretation serves in their memoirs.

Artykuł jest próbą porównania dwóch zjawisk górniczych: północnoamerykańskich gorączek złota i górnictwa obozów pracy sowieckiego GUŁ-agu. Oba zjawiska były formami peryferyjnego górnictwa i ekspansji europejskiej cywilizacji na niezagospodarowane obszary. Większość gorączek złota miało miejsce w XIX i na początku XX wieku w Stanach Zjednoczonych, Kanadzie, Australii, Południowej Afryce i Nowej Zelandii. Niektóre obozy GUŁ-agu były położone w odległych regionach północno-wschodniej Syberii. Mimo wszystkich różnic między nimi, istniało wiele podobieństw dotyczących zarówno irracjonalnych jak i racjonalnych cech tych zjawisk.

The article is an attempt at a comparison of two mining phenomena: North American gold rushes and mining of the Soviet Gulag labour camps. Both of them were a form of the peripheral mining and the European civilization expansion towards undeveloped areas. Major gold rushes took place in the 19th and early 20th centuries in the United States, Canada, Australia, South Africa and New Zeland. Some of the Gulag camps were positioned in the remote areas of northeastern Siberia. In spite of all the differences between them, there existed many similarities which concerned both irrational and rational features of these phenomena.
