Hi Michelle...Michael was my great great grandfather...you obviously did your research into his story...well done...did you read about his daughter dying after she was burned from a candle....very sad story..keep your stories coming...very interesting 😊
G'day, thanks for a very interesting and informative glimpse into the colourful history of much bypassed area of the Golden triangle, have camped around the area with the family many time and have attend a back too, as we had family who lived there a long time ago, cheers mate, Neil 🤠.
Great vid. Love that area. How on earth did you get that footage of the campground devoid of the usual untidiness of the permanent residents? I have never seen it look so welcoming.
One of the permanent residents died about 12 months ago,He was known only by the name of Fish,used to walk from Waanyarra to Dunolly.We used to give him a ride to Maryborough,did his shopping and then walk back to Waanyarra,he was old,no idea how old,my guess in his 70's
I’m really enjoying your videos thanks I get to see all-our awesome gold places without leaving my couch and it’s good to see you in person on this video. Thanks for the knowledge that comes from your videos and the hope you keep making them.
@@goldfieldsguide Thanks for the lovely message much appreciated. I look forward to more of your videos and it’s great to see someone else loves Victoria’s gold history as much as I do. If people knew the amazing history of Victoria’s gold era they would certainly be blown away as much as we are about this time in Victoria’s history. You are helping to make people see this and that deserves great respect so I hope you know this. That is why making your gold fields guide videos are so important. Keep it up because it’s well worth it. Thank you from Daniel Duivenvoorden.
parked opposite the cemetery one night while detecting, in the middle of the night 3 knocks on the side of my van, a ghost? perhaps?, or a tree branch 👻

Truly love the history you share with us all. Thank you
Thanks, much appreciated 🙂⚒🌿
Looks like a lovely place to stay Paul

Interesting video.
We prospected a lot south of Ballarat in the Enfield bush.
Stumbled upon a few graves in the bush, often just above the creek.
A great insight, thank you for your ongoing hard work for these informative videos.
Thanks Darren! 🙂⚒

Thanks, much appreciated 🙂 There were about three or four campers set up there, nice and quiet 🙂👌🌿

I swear that the old hotel had been ‘restored’ into better shape by a local community group but it looks fairly dilapidated in this video.

Spooky! It was the ghost of a 19th century sly grog merchant, bringing you a glass of “blow my skull off” 😆🍻
LOL Blow My Skull Off on special at Dan Murphy's
Haha, gone are the days when you can get Turkish opium in your drink down the local pub 😆🍻

Chinese had the best, Turks were bigger champions with hashish and a little blend of Afghan salt staining... 🤭
