Treasures, Episode 2: The great gold nugget and the cricket stumps
18 Mar 2018
Sydney in the early 1800s was a fledgling colony, full of convicts, soldiers, settlers and social climbers – the kind of town where you might win and lose your fortune in a single day.

But how did a large gold nugget go from an abandoned mine shaft to a government office corridor game of cricket? Behind every object is a story – join Charles Wooley and Kim McKay as they reveal some of the Treasures at the Australian Museum.
