Fantastic history and love your stories. Thank you for your efforts with masterfully assembling these wonderful tales of hard work and adventure in the goldfields of Victoria, Australia.
Thanks for your video, you did some splendid fossicking through the Trove website and local histories for those reports. As a kid who grew up in an old gold town, you evoked memories of my childhood exploring old ruins and mines in the bush on the edge of town.
Just incredible the story you tell of the old gold fields such a amazing history Australian's have, sad in some ways the old timers are all gone but the rock they dug still remains.
G'day, thank you for your video, My Grandfather was born in Bendigo in 1910 and as a child would visit many old miners in huts and his mother would feed them for work done around the house, they lived in Eaglehawk close to the whipstick Forrest and still today you can find many old huts ruins, lt must have been a harsh and lonely life, cheers, Neil.
One of those old Victoran hatters by the name of Jack Brown emigrated to Tasmania around 1875 and went onto to discover three alluvial fields on the west coast including the very first payable field at Brown's Plain around November 1878. He was 63 when he first showed on the coast and was a hatter as best they come. He pulled 100 oz of nuggetty quart crystalline Au, in a fortnight, from a 1inch leader at the age of 70, from Mckusick's Creek, Queenstown in 1884. He was one of the first buried in the Strahan cemetery. Victoria's loss was our Tassie gain. Love the way you TROVE. First class commentary and researching. Fairly rivetting. Rory, Tas.
Hi, Great work as always, i think you deserve more subscribers with the content you provide. So i thought I'd mention .. Take note of the views each video receives after one month, Adjust future titles to gain favour with the algorithms. YT shorts may also grow your audience as advertising to your lengthier videos. Thanks for making this particular history of Victoria fun. Again, great work.
Awesome documentrys and fantastic narration as there is always more to learn about the gold history and geology of Victoria's gold regions. The tide of Victoria's gold rush hasn't ended for some of us who seek the allure of this romantic and adventurous past time. I really appreciate the enthusiasm that's goes into these very well produced shows and continue to make them as there are so many stories to be told of our Victorian gold history's. There is still lots of gold out there beging found everyday by prospectors and so much more to be won from Vic's ground's. Get out there and enjoy the nature, history and spender of our awesome state Victoria and you might find treasure,now where else can you find treasure in the ground? we really are lucky to have this available to anyone willing to try.
We are still trying now 🤞 These legends make us true blue victorians water at the mouth and quiver at the thought of even finding a few spec’s in the bottom of the pan. So awesome to see your videos still running after so long love. Keep up the excellent work it really does keep some of us sane thank you ❤️
The photos of those past times were amazing 👌 I've potentially walked around the same ground & where others have not 🙂 Today's modern prospectors have a life of financial security as most of us have employment & access to equipment + technological data to gain the advantages of geology ! There is still the potential for some great finds in Victoria 👌
Love these story’s. keep them coming ❤
Glad you like the videos 🙂 plenty more to come
Great to watch😊
