Pages tanning/foxing. "For fifty years after James Nash discovered gold in 1867 at the spot on the Mary River in Queensland where Gympie now stands, gold was the town's main source of income. And in that period the lure of a fortune was responsible for many dramatic events - the sensational Escort Murder, hold-ups by bushrangers, battles between Chinese and European prospectors - which Hector Holthouse vividly describes against a background of life in a frontier town with all its hardships. Illustrated with photographs and drawings of the period and the author's own photographs of present-day Gympie, 'Gympie Gold' is popular history at its most readable."
