Wednesday, June 4th, 2014
12:00 PM to 1:00 PM

Please join author Dr. Patrick Lydon for an illuminating talk on the history of the 1864 Leechtown goldrush. The Leechtown goldrush and Peter Leech himself, have been of great interest to Dr. Lydon over the years and the discovery of Peter Leech�s actual resting place in Ross Bay Cemetery prompted him to write the book on this subject. July 2014 is the 150th anniversary of the finding of gold at Leechtown. His book, The Gold Will Speak for Itself: Peter Leech and Leechtown � Victoria�s Goldrush is available in the Royal Museum Shop.
