Ripping Yarns and Tragic Tales – Prospectors

Over the last few years I have checked to see which ‘Prospector’ stories had been most viewed. Here is a list of the most popular stories on the Outback Family History Blog. Feel free to share the stories and remember all stories on the OFH blog may be copied and shared (just give OFH a credit).

If you have a ‘Goldfields’ business or group, maybe it would improve your social media content to add in some of the OFH stories. There are nearly 900 stories on the blog at this moment, so there will sure to be a story that will fit your page or web site.

Moya Sharp

Owner at Outback Family History

My name is Moya Sharp, I live in Kalgoorlie Western Australia and have worked most of my adult life in the history/museum industry. I have been passionate about history for as long as I can remember and in particular the history of my adopted home the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia. Through my website I am committed to providing as many records and photographs free to any one who is interested in the family and local history of the region.
