Anthill 照片檔

Over half the alluvial gold won in Queensland, Australia can be credited to the Palmer River catchment area. Most of the gold was panned in the gold rush of the 1870s. These days the countryside is scoured by metal detector enthusiasts looking for those elusive nuggets of gold. Old metal horse shoes are commonly detected throughout the area. A large anthill dots the landscape in this June 2018 photo.
