Scattered across Australia’s vast outback lie mysterious ghost towns, silent reminders of our gold-rush past.

When the gold and other precious metals ran out, or farming became to difficult, communities packed up and left, leaving behind empty buildings, rusty machinery, and countless stories. Today, these places stand frozen in time, their crumbling ruins hinting of lost dreams, tales of hope and hard work, and the boom-and-bust cycle of mining life.
