Thoroughly enjoyed a talk tonight in Ballarat by Lucy Sussex and Megan Brown about Outrageous Fortunes and Mary and George Fortune. Highly recommend getting a copy of these books and reading them (really enjoying Nothing but Murders... at the moment).

While colonists were stealing from First Nations peoples they were also stealing from each other.

That's right we're talking about bushrangers.

The real and the fake, the facts and the fiction, the stage and screen adaptations.
It's armed theft! But fun!

We talk to to educational publisher Tim Carruthers about an historic journey to the goldfields, and his own attempted walk to Castlemaine.

Will we make it to Mt Alexander? Or will we claim that the journey is the destination?

Thanks to #Trove for the digitised articles and #StateLibraryVictoria for their collections on the #VictorianGoldfields.
