William Emilsen discovered the journal of William Diaper behind a glass mirror in a wall at the United Theological College in Enfield, Sydney.
The detailed account of the infamous William Diaper's travels among the New South Wales and Victorian goldfields during 1851-1853. This journal captures life on the goldfields as many a digger must have experienced it, but few could record. It is a remarkable story of adventure, courage and survival in a frontier society.
Separate map included in a back pocket.
