The Gold-Stealers

"The Gold-Stealers: A Story of Waddy" by Edward Dyson

Dyson was an Australian poet, journalist, and short story writer. At 19 he began writing verse, and a few years later embarked on a life of free-lance journalism which lasted until his death. This book represents his first foray into long-form writing. Taking place when gold rushes took over the world, this book explores the adventures of plucky characters trying to better their place in life in the Australian landscape.
