Strike it rich enough and your every dream will become a reality. Such is the fervent belief of the prospectors who trek into the desert, prepared to gamble all in search of precious gems... and that one big strike that will transform their lives - making them outrageously rich. Living conditions at the Australian desert location of Andamooka are almost primitive, for the town has none of the comforts of modern living. Being a settlement without full town status, Andamooka is also without a police presence - a fact that encourages wanted criminals from Sydney and Melbourne to use it as a hideout and prompts the Press throughout Australia to liken it to the Badlands of America's Wild West. DREAM HUNTERS follows on from the success of POMS DOWN UNDER and continues the thrilling, fact-based accounts of gold and gem mining in the Sixties by British, European and Australian prospectors.
