The classic self-help manual for gold prospecting in Australia, by the author of Lasster's Last Ride.
Ion Idriess (1889—1979) is one of Australia's best-loved writers, with fifty-six books to his credit and millions of copies sold. When he returned from the First World War he wrote The Desert Column, about his experiences with the 5th Light Horse. Prospecting for Gold was his first major successful work; it immediately sold out and was reprinted constantly in the following years, as were many of his books. Idriess spent much of his life travelling throughout Australia, collecting material for his true-life stories, including Flynn of the Inland, The Red Chief and Nemarluk. He was awarded the O.B.E. in 1968 for his contribution to Australian literature.
* First published in 1931, and now in its 22nd edition by popular demand - the price of gold is now over $US 2000 an ounce. * The author travelled Australia in his own search for gold. * Review copies, some ABC Radio to promote Australia-wide.
