Bendigo 1851, there’s Gold in them thar hills. Following a Gold discovery from this old time prospector, prompts a fever rush to cash in from locals and immigrants alike. This area will come to be known as ‘ The Golden Gully’. Robin.

A great looking display Robin. That new scenic base from Sheffield Miniatures is a standout piece for sure. Glad to see it in use . . . Provides a lot of perspective of how it would look with figures on it.

Brilliant work there Robin.

I'ts great to see that you can achieve a realistic diorama which is very 'Aussie'.
I love the addition of a couple of 'Jumbucks' at the trough,

All you now need is Bluey !!!

Lucky Pete will no doubt be trading some of those gold nuggets on a new, larger cabin. 😄
Really enjoyable scene and story, Robin.
 
The word ‘Gold’ is starting to spread, resulting in more and more prospectors arriving in Bendigo 1851. Robin.
