Dollypot is a magnificent collection of prospectors' and miners' stories from the pages of the old Western Mail newspaper.

Humour, sadness, thirst, booze, hard luck, life, people and poetry of the goldfields - from the Kimberley in the north to Ravensthorpe in the south east of Western Australia.
Bangemall, a Gascoyne mining village, 290 km ENE of Carnarvon, near Mt Augustus, cut a swathe through WA history in the 1890s.

Lonely graves, lost gold mines, death by thirst, suicide and native attack. Cattle and gold, natives, cops and crooks, prospectors and gold, in an eye opening collection of details of a forgotten mining town and region.
