Gold Prospecting on Upper Chichester River
A. E. Powell of Tenambit and Bill Neville recall their early discovery of a payable gold bearing lode on the Upper Chichester, pursued across rough, river valley terrain and months of hardship. They describe rich reef prospects in Whispering Gully, Rivers Wangat, and other sites, warn of treacherous terrain, flood dangers, and the need for finance. Powell congratulates Mount Nelson Ltd on their venture, hoping for a second Mount Morgan outcome in New South Wales.
