Callaghan's Gold by John Callaghan
A TRIBUTE TO THE PIONEERING SPIRIT OF THE PEOPLE OF THE GOLDFIELDS.
It was the lure of gold which first sparked the mass migration of miners and fortune seekers to the goldfields of Coolgardie and Kalgoorlie Boulder in Western Australia.
But the hard won fortunes in gold also produced a wealth of character in the people. Like so many others I was born and raised in the Goldfields amid the yarns, stories and exploits that are now legendary.
In this part of the world a singer/songwriter does not have to dig deep for material, for like the alluvial gold deposits of yesteryear we have only just begun to scratch the surface.
To the community that has for a century shown rare courage and determination I dedicate this album.
'Help each other make it great.
Give someone a hand
Look out across the horizon
It's bound to make you proud.'
