Denis O'Callaghan was one of the earliest pioneers who followed Bayley and Ford into Coolgardie after the discovery of that El Dorado in August 1892.

He experienced all the varied emotions of those hectic times - the heat and the mirage, the dust and flies, the fever and dysentery, the nights of revelry in the Denver City and other Bayley Street hotels, the sly-grog shops and the two-up and Murrumbidgee rings. (back cover)
