Series Aussie Gold Hunters — 7 season, 6 episode

Story

The Poseidon Crew faces a demanding search in Victoria’s frozen high country, where low temperatures and rugged terrain make every stage of the hunt more difficult. Their work depends on persistence, careful decisions and equipment that can withstand punishing conditions. Elsewhere, the Gold Timers commit the last of their savings to hiring heavy machinery, hoping the added power will help them reach promising ground and keep their season alive. With money running short and the pressure to find gold mounting, both crews must weigh risk against the possibility of a valuable breakthrough.
