For Turon Gold - Don Delaney

A brilliant Australian goldfields tale set on the Turon near Sofala, in which a murder mystery, bushranging chased by black-trackers and a strange love story combine. Written by journalist John Sandes in 1915, this is one of six historical fictions penned by 'Don Delaney', who had actually lived on the Turon goldfields. This one features claim-jumping, several resourceful Italian diggers, the Bishop of Bathurst, rogues and bushrangers, Irish troopers and a case of cross-dressing - to survive.
