    Volume 1

    Covers the HISTORIC ERA in 450 jam packed pages (A4 size)

    Volume 1 contains independently researched gold discovery history (and challenges generally accepted history in some cases) . . . from the Kimberley in the far north to Phillips River near the south coast, to the remote Duketon field east of Agnew and to the little known Bang-Em-All field in the Gascoyne. It covers the Pilbara, the Murchison, the Yilgarn and Dundas, and of course the original Coolgardie, East Coolgardie (Kalgoorlie), North Coolgardie and Mt Margaret goldfields.  There was even an official Donnybrook goldfield.


    This historically significant publication documents the gold mines, the companies which developed them and the many towns that sprang up around them . . . most of which can scarcely be located nowadays. It includes comprehensive gold production statistics, a chapter on key individuals, and a chapter on the dark side . . . deaths in mines. Chapter 12 includes extensive information on the most important mines on the historic Golden Mile.


    This volume also reveals the little known "Re-Cast" of 1906 which substantially revised statewide gold production figures down by 12%, up to the peak year 1903, which has tricked historians, academics and authors to this very day.   


     

    Volume 2

    Covers the MODERN ERA in 400 jam packed pages (A4 size)

    Volume 2 documents the revival of the gold sector since 1980 and contains chronological histories of over one hundred and fifty gold mines. The volume also includes the stories of the gold companies, and mine production statistics up to the end of 2023. 

    It is an important adjunct to Volume 1, collectively telling The Complete Story of Gold in Western Australia in a way that has never been delivered in one place, in print.


    This volume revisits the Robert de Crespigny era, the Lalor brothers, the rise and fall of Alan Bond and Joseph Gutnick . . . and contains the contemporary stories of Northern Star, Evolution Mining, Westgold, Regis Resources, Ramelius Resources and a host of smaller gold miners (more than one hundred companies in all). And then there are the foreign raiders Newmont, Barrick, Gold Fields, AngloGold, Harmony Gold et al who have left an indelible footprint in the West Australian gold sector.


    Who Really Found The Gold?

    FREE BOOK OFFER


    This  third  book  by  the  Author  is  a  stand-alone  publication,  but  is  an extension of discovery history covered in Volume 1 of The Complete Story of Gold  in  Western Australia, and is a valuable adjunct to that two volume set. It  is a more in-depth look at the prospectors who made history … and in many  cases  challenges  written  gold  discovery  history ... for  Hall’s Creek, Nannine, Cue, Southern Cross, Norseman, Kalgoorlie, Menzies, Burtville  etc. 


    In particular, it brings to the forefront a number of prospectors much less well remembered, who played  vital  roles  in  opening  up the goldfields of Western Australia and whom deserve as much recognition as the names which are part of goldfields folklore.


    This book (also in A4 size) can be ordered as a separate item, but it is also

      a FREE give-away when purchasing  The Complete Story of Gold in Western

     Australia two volume set ... in that case, just add the two volume set to your shopping cart and this third book will be included in your consignment for 

    no extra cost.
