This was a great little history lesson. I lived in the Rockhampton area for many years and I remember early in my time there, my mother telling me how Mt Morgan was an important town when she was going to school in Brisbane. At one time it was the largest producer of Gold in the world and had the deepest open-cut pit at about a mile deep. Mt Morgan faded away but Mt Isa is still going strong today. This film impressed me because of that particular scene where the discoverer of the deposit was watching the miners heading to work. I'd bet very few of those blokes walking past knew who he was, and how important a man he was in their collective lives.
