Hunter's Gold - First Episode
Television (Full Length Episode) – 1976
The goldfields is no place for a lad of your age - do you realise it would take a grown man three weeks to get there? No Scott, you can not go to Tucker’s Gully, and I'll not hear another word about it.– Scott's Aunt (Sue Dalison-Ryan) lays down the law
Perhaps he struck it rich ... Corr, I’d give me right arm to be with him out there - free as a bird, accountable to no one. Always that chance of stumbling on a fortune.– The Cobb and Co man (Ross Duncan) muses about Scott's father
