We Found a URANIUM MINE in the Victorian Goldfields

The Victorian Goldfields region is well known for its incredible gold mining history - massive nuggets, rich quartz reefs, and buried riverbeds full of gold. But did you know that we had our very own Uranium rush back in the 1950s? In this video, we're going to look into the story of how two brothers from Kingower made this incredible discovery, and then I'm heading out with historian and author John Tully, on an adventure to search for the remote site of their Uranium mine. --- Special thanks to: John Tully and The Prospectors and Miners Association of Victoria https://pmav.org.au/ --- References THOMAS, D.E., 1954.
