Lasseter’s Last Ride – An Epic of Central Australian Gold Discovery

Description

First published in 1931 and now in its 51st edition, this is the true story of Harold Bell Lasseter’s discovery of a massive gold reef in Central Australia, his venture into the interior to find it again using camel, trucks and aeroplane; and his disappearance, lost among Aboriginal tribes in the Central Desert.
This story has been written from the related experiences of members of the expedition, and from the letters of Lasseter. The story of Lasseter’s last adventures has been pieced together from the fragments of letters buried by him beneath the ashes of his campfires and found by Bob Buck when he was searching for the lost prospector.
