"A sensational story of the West Australian goldfields in the 70s."

Production

This was the first movie from the Australian Film Syndicate, which was formed in early 1911 with the financial backing of a draper, doctor and squatter from Goulburn. Their low-budget films were directed by George Young and their technical department was run by Jack Wainwright and Lacey Percival. The company ran out of a small studio and laboratory in North Sydney but did not last long due to poor financial returns for their movies.
