Hunting Outback Gold

Hunting Outback Gold

New series starts Thursday 19th February at 9pm on U&Yesterday

Two life-long friends, Jeff Harris and Brendan Elliot, lead a daring expedition deep into the Australian Outback, to find a legendary, multi-billion dollar fortune in gold and solve a 100-year-old mystery. In 1897 gold prospector, Harrold Lasseter, staggered out of the desert claiming to have discovered a massive outcrop of gold. Decades later, he led an expedition to rediscover his lost fortune. Things didn’t go to plan, and he perished in the desert alone, taking the location of his gold to the grave. After six of their own failed outback missions over forty years, this is the final chance for Jeff and Brendan to fulfil the pact they made as kids by finding Lasseter’s gold. The difference this time is that they have added specialist help and cutting-edge technology, and will meticulously retrace Lasseter’s fateful 1930 expedition, scouring the Outback for clues that Lasseter left behind that will hopefully lead them to his fortune. Their quest: survive the outback, discover the truth … and just maybe become billionaires in the process!
