Description

The Last Prospector

Rollicking stories about the times and tribulations of Dan Brock, the last professional contracting prospector of Tasmania’s wild West.

When old Dan told teenage Geoff Harwood tales of his adventures, they were entertaining yarns; not to be
believed. Years after Dan had gone, Geoff found evidence that Dan’s narratives were intriguingly accurate and he was compelled to investigate remaining clues.

For over 200 years, Tasmania’s West Coast region has been a magnet for adventurers, explorers and seekers
who have prospected the land for a variety of riches ranging from social acclaim, material riches, intellectual
enlightenment and spiritual inspiration.
