A J Thompson found Johhny Aspinall's grave by chance in 1980 while prospecting at Hawks Nest, about 15km west of Laverton in the Mt Margaret Goldfields. Johnny began his diary in 1895 as he left his native New Zealand, and his last entry was made in 1896, one prior to his death when he was struck by lightning. Ironically, his last entry mentioned that there were thunderstorms around. (back cover)
