Hard Won Gold

Edited by ROSS BARNETT and PAULINE BARNETT

This is the story of how the tricky deposits of the Reefton Goldfield yielded great riches throughout the 20th century. It’s a a story of clever entrepreneurs, technology innovators, hard-working miners and their families and other interesting characters who left their mark on the area’s history. The book shows not only how gold and the miners created a rich heritage of stories and sites, but also gives hints there may be more gold to come.
