In this fascinating and darkly funny talk, Matt Murphy, author of the books Rum and Gold, unpacks the true story of gold’s discovery and the shameless self-promoter who took the credit. Hear about the real pioneers, the forgotten diggers, and the decades-long battle to expose Hargraves as an opportunistic fraud. With his signature wit and deep historical insight, Matt Murphy brings to life one of Australia’s greatest swindles.
