À propos de cet audio
Ask Google Who discovered gold in Australia? and you'll promptly get 'Edward Hammond Hargraves'. Hargraves has for decades received the fame, fortune and adulation from all corners of the country, but did he earn it?
What about the two diggers he met on the Californian goldfields who told him where to look when he returned home to Australia?
What about the guys who led him to where they'd heard gold had been found before?
What about the pioneers whose discoveries had been documented years earlier?
This is the story of an oversized layabout who received years of accolades and free lunches, despite lumbering from one embarrassment to another, and of those who spent decades trying to expose him and seek their share of the glory.
