In the wild and dangerous years of North Queensland's mining boom, thousands of prospectors trekked across the forbidding land dreaming of gold. The bearded diggers traveled on horseback, walked and led pack-horses, rode in drays and wagons, and struggled with barrows and handcarts. In their search for the golden treasure many of them found a fortune, others it ended in a shallow grave in the bush for although typhoid was the greatest killer, malaria was also rampant.
