Gold Wars Downunder follows three 
hardcore mining teams as they battle it 
out on the one patch of gold-rich-land 
to see who can unearth the biggest 
nuggets and the most gold in an epic 
made-for-television gold hunting season.
The sale of gold is an important source 
of income for hundreds of thousands 
of Australians, including the men 
and women willing to risk it all, as 
they venture into some of the most 
dangerous and inhospitable territory on 
the planet – hoping to strike it rich. The 
miners are our narrators and through 
them, and their specialist mining skills, 
we’re drawn into the wider world of 
remote-area alluvial gold mining. The 
town of Clermont has estimated gold 
reserves of $750 million AUD and the 
gold price is trading at 10-year historical 
highs. There’s a modern-day gold rush 
going on in the town of Clermont.
