Kirkham's Find is a novel written by Mary Gaunt. The story is set in the Australian outback during the early 20th century. It follows the journey of a young woman named Doris after she inherits a gold mine from her late father. She travels to the remote town of Kirkham's Find to claim her inheritance and start a new life. Doris faces many challenges in Kirkham's Find, including dealing with the harsh living conditions, the dangers of mining, and the prejudices of the townspeople. She also has to navigate her complicated relationships with the men in her life, including her father's business partner, a handsome miner, and a wealthy landowner who wants to buy her mine. As Doris tries to make a success of her mining venture, she uncovers secrets about her father's past and the history of the town. She also learns about the struggles of the Aboriginal people who have been displaced from their land by the mining industry. Kirkham's Find is a gripping tale of adventure, romance, and self-discovery set against the rugged backdrop of the Australian outback. It explores themes of identity, family, and the impact of colonialism on Indigenous peoples.Morrison and Kirkham were too anxious to talk. To Sam McAlister this was just an incident. If they found gold, well and good; he would have a jolly old spree down south; but it didn't much matter; it would do just as well six months hence as now, while, if they did not find even the colour, he would be no worse off than he was before.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
