The second great gold rush of in Victoria in the latter part of the 19th-century, was in the incredibly rich Jordan Valley in Gippsland. This is a history of the area, both in contemporary and modern photography. Most Victorians have heard of Walhalla, and some are probably heard of Jamison, but asked most of them about Jericho, Red Jacket, Royal Standard or Knockwood, and they will look at you with questions in their eyes. A hundred years ago, the look would have been one of lust, lust for gold. This is the story of that history.
