520			_a"In Quest of Gold; Or, Under the Whanga Falls" by Alfred St. Johnston is a historical adventure novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Alec and George Law, two brothers living on a sheep station in Queensland, Australia, who are drawn into a perilous quest for gold to save their family's home after falling into debt. As they embark on their journey into the wild and rugged landscape, they encounter numerous challenges and adventures that test their resilience and bravery. The opening of the novel introduces readers to the brothers as they grapple with their family's dire financial situation and their impending loss of their beloved homestead, Wandaroo. After discovering the possibility of finding gold in the nearby mountains, enthusiasm builds as they decide to pursue this risky adventure together, accompanied by local Indigenous guides. The narrative quickly shifts to a harrowing moment when they realize they have been betrayed by one of their guides, Prince Tom, leading to a fierce confrontation with hostile natives. This early portion of the story establishes the themes of brotherhood, survival, and the yearning for fortune, setting the stage for the trials they will face as they delve deeper into the wilderness.
