Bendigo Gold is a Historic Fiction story set on the Bendigo Goldfields in their early hey-day. The two main characters, Harry and Fee fight claim jumpers, floods, fire all interlocked with comedy, romance and the race for riches in the most exciting place on the planet in the 1850's.
This is one of those books you cannot put down as it races from one crisis to another, from one incredible situation to another. The book inludes such historic characters as the fiery dancer and entertainer Lola Montez and the rarest of creatures in these days a female novelist Celest de Chabriall. In the 1850's it was the height of romance to be, On Bendigo.

Gunpowder Gold follows on to Bendigo Gold. This is a sequal without equal. The two main characters, Harry and Fee 20 years after Bendigo find themselves on the incredibly dangerous Palmer River Goldfields in the far north of Queensland.
Hounded by murderous Aboriginal tribes, outlaws and crooks of all types Harry and Fee strive to build an empire of commerce in Cooktown and Palmerston.
This is another book you won't be able to put down and is probably even better that On Bendigo. There was not much romance on the Palmer, you needed all your energies just to stay alive.
