N2  - It is 1872 in Sydney and gold fever is running high, high enough to inspire swells and diggers alike to set sail for exotic New Guinea. To reach these mythical gold fields they first have to navigate the treacherous seas of the Great Barrier Reef in the monsoon season. This is the story of their ill-fated voyage, their shipwreck off Hinchinbrook Island and their sometimes lucky and sometimes tragic encounters with bands of Aboriginal warriors
