AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Dick discovers about £500 of gold while fossicking on the Bendigo diggings just after splitting with his mates Tom and Harry. Determined not to drink it all away he plants the nugget, loses it, eventually finds it again, takes a drink to celebrate and weeks later turns out to be blind, paralysed and a cripple. (PB)
