This is Part 1 of an interview with long-time gold prospector, Greg McAllan, who spent years prospecting full-time in the Victorian bush.

There's lots more interesting videos at Goldfields Guide's YouTube homepage:

What a fantastic story and a great character telling it. Be great if they kept all that gold til today, who knows what it would be worth. Thanks very much for the vid. Cheers Mackka

When can I see part 2? Fantastic story. There were a lot of stories like that back in the late 70s, early 80s. But, mostly kept quite for obvious reasons. Those were the days!

On her YouTube page, Goldfields Guide says, "This is part one, so stay tuned to the Goldfields Guide YouTube channel over the next few weeks, as there are a series of videos coming about Greg and his family's brilliant adventures in the goldfields ⚒"

Yeah a great yarn and good information. I was lucky enough to be introduced to dredging but never found the Patch, buggar, but it was a heap of fun on a hot summers day.

Another brilliant story! I love his happy attitude to life. He's had it all. Heaps of gold, Done what he's liked for 20+ years. And best of all. He's been his own boss all that time.
