Kirkham’s Find is a novel by Mary Gaunt that tells the story of a young woman named Nellie who travels to the Australian outback in search of adventure and a new life. She meets a group of miners who are searching for gold in the remote and rugged landscape, and soon becomes embroiled in their dangerous and unpredictable world.As Nellie gets to know the miners and their way of life, she begins to uncover the secrets and mysteries of the outback, including the legend of Kirkham’s Find, a legendary gold mine that is said to be cursed. As she delves deeper into the lives of the miners, Nellie discovers that not everyone is who they seem, and that danger lurks around every corner.Throughout the book, Gaunt vividly describes the harsh and unforgiving landscape of the Australian outback, with its scorching heat, treacherous terrain, and unpredictable weather. She also explores the themes of love, betrayal, and redemption, as Nellie struggles to find her place in this new and unfamiliar world.Kirkham’s Find is a gripping and suspenseful novel that will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very end. With its vivid descriptions of the Australian outback, its complex characters, and its thrilling plot, this book is a must-read for anyone who loves adventure and mystery.Morrison and Kirkham were too anxious to talk. To Sam McAlister this was just an incident. If they found gold, well and good; he would have a jolly old spree down south; but it didn’t much matter; it would do just as well six months hence as now, while, if they did not find even the colour, he would be no worse off than he was before.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
