CHASING THE WEIGHT 1886-1912

Pioneer prospector, Fred Cammilleri, was the first man to dig and peg on the Golden Mile lodes. His story begins in Western Australia's Kimberley in 1886
and continues through to the Pilbara, Ashburton and Murchison. Heading
further south, he takes in Kalgoorlie, Greenbushes and finally, Donnybrook.
