Dear Mr. Waugh

The Grain of Gold video was interesting. It is amazing how Edward Hardgrave went to California and came back to Australia and started digging in the blue mountains. I can't believe the Digger's War lasted only 20 minutes and twenty two digger's  and five soldiers were killed. Also the digger's leader Peter Layler had a arm that had to be amputated and that some diggers were arrested for burning their digging licenses.
