Excellent Video depicting Harold Bell lasseter as much more than a gold fossicker.
Lasseters Bones Doco is a very interesting video with an interesting ending in suggesting that the Aborigines have found the reef and are keeping people away from the area by using threats to the life of those who may be adventurous enough to enter the so called sacred area. The video is quite professionally done and contains a lot of historic information regarding lasseter and the "Out Back" of Australia. Definitely worth a look see by anybody with an interest in the history of Lasseter, his life and the reef.

Inspiring and thought provoking.
This DVD is the story of one man's search for the gold reef (where gold was laying in the open, on the ground) his father, Harold Lasseter said he discovered near the western Australia/Northern territory border in 1931, and which has never been found since. It's Australian folk lore & inspiring. I've read numerous books on Lasseter, now to see the country on film, is the pinnacle of my interest.
