dvd: New Chum
Explore the fascinating life and times of one of Australia's earlier citizens,
on a journey that will take you from Bremen, Germany, to a bustling Sydney,
to the treacherous goldfields of the Palmer River in Northern Queensland, and on to Omeo, one of the wildest goldfields in the country.
Arriving in Australia in February 1881, at the age of eighteen, William Kracke endured the challenge of finding work in Sydney, the thrill of the gold rush,
the savegery of hostile Aborigines, the destruction of the 1939 Black Friday bushfires.
Discover his interest in photography, that would see him record early twentieth century life in an isolated Australian township.
