No Slowflow, not Edward Harrington. Given the Duck's very generous prize for the correct answer, I won't give out another clue right away!

Doesn't always help.
While I'm not sure I have the correct answer for the current question (still looking).
I have found a couple of lists of Australian history books. A number of which are prospecting related.
I thought some history fans may be interested.

Slowflow and RJ are both correct, Ed Waller's great book "And there's gold out there." It's well worth seeking out, as is the sequel "And there's opal out there."
Slowflow was first, so he gets the next question, and the Duck's wonderful prize.

Thanks for your generosity The Duck, good for me as I will learn what to look for when I'm out.
Tough question DRDuck.
What prompted this quote "rare moment of collusion with the Convict women, the ladies in the Governor's party could not control their laughter."

It began, most famously, all the way back in 1838, just as the King's representative, the visiting governor, was about to give an uplifting speech to the female convicts of Tasmania's Cascades Female Factory, imploring them to change their wicked ways. Suddenly, as the contemporary account goes, ''three hundred women turned around and at one impulse pulled up their clothes showing their naked posteriors, which they simultaneously smacked with their hands making a loud and not very musical noise. In a rare moment of collusion with the convict women, the ladies in the governor's party could not control their laughter''. No penalty on those women is recorded and I believe that should be followed on this occasion.

Rosaleen Miriam Norton (1917-1979), painter and self-styled witch, was born on 2 October 1917 at Dunedin, New Zealand, third daughter of Albert Thomas Norton, a master mariner from London, and his New Zealand-born wife Beena Salek, ne Aschman. Albert was a cousin of the composer Ralph Vaughan Williams. The family arrived in Sydney in June 1925. Rosaleen was expelled from the Church of England Girls' School, Chatswood, at the age of 14 for producing 'depraved' drawings of vampires, ghouls and werewolves thought likely to corrupt the other girls. She later studied for two years at East Sydney Technical College under Rayner Hoff who encouraged her 'pagan' creativity.
Norton continued to produce macabre paintings of the supernatural, though they were increasingly lurid and repetitive. She died of cancer on 5 December 1979 in the Sacred Heart Hospice, Darlinghurst.
You do narrow it down a little Amanda
