Thirty-three years earlier, he had staggered out of the desert, almost dead, his pockets bulging with gold, claiming to have found a 15-kilometre gold reef. The mystery deepened when he and a surveyor returned to the isolated and mysterious ranges where the reef was supposed to be located. It became legendary when the largest inland expedition since Burke and Wills was launched.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eLasseter's Gold\u003c\/i\u003e, Warren Brown vividly recreates the drama of the search—the characters, the fights, the soaring temperatures, the impossible terrain, the plane crash, the pistol-carrying dingo-skinner who appeared out of nowhere. And just who was this man Lasseter? A one-time sailor, a bigamist, a man who claimed John Bradfield stole his plans for a single-span bridge to cross Sydney Harbour—was he also a very, very good liar?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eLasseter's Gold\u003c\/i\u003e is the gripping story of an outback legend. Is it just a myth—or is there really a massive gold reef out there, just waiting to be discovered?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46844345417964,"sku":"9780733631603","price":39.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/5016323482449.jpg?v=1758837356","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/lasseters-gold-by-warren-brown-9780733631603","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
