    "The Rush That Never Ended : A History of Australian Mining " by Geoffrey Blainey

    When last in Australia, I picked up a copy of this book and it is fascinating reading. Prospectors kept pushing into newer areas and were picking up nuggets from a few ounces up to 2,000 ozs + , where are they now , he he?
