i've spent a lot of time in the goldfields of central Victoria for work and holidays, in fact my career in archaeology began in Fryerstown at a Chinese digging site. I returned home this morning from a few days in beautiful Maldon and surrounds. a couple of weeks ago i was a bit further northwest for field work, recording and surveying some old golden towns. i have always loved the story of the prospectors and pioneers, and when you find remnants of this history...well, there is just so much to imagine, it was one hell of a hard life. one of my favourite things to do is just drive around, take an unsealed road here and there, getting a bit lost, because that's when you find all the good stuff.
