Overview

Harold Bell Lasseter claimed to have found an immense reef of gold in Central Australia and he dissapeared while searching for the reef in 1930. Lasseter claims in his diary that he had rediscovered the reef and had pegged and claimed the area (but gave no date or no location); however, suffering from starvation and sandy blight he recorded his thoughts, “what good a reef worth millions? I would give it all for a loaf of bread”. The diary was found after his body was discovered, and further expeditions have failed to solve the mystery. This is the first time the diary has been fully transcribed and contains all of Lasster's own mud-maps.
