In 1951 one of the most significant discoveries of historical images from Australia’s Gold Rush era was uncovered in a Chatswood garden shed, safely preserved for decades by descendants of Bernhardt Holtermann, the famed discoverer of the Holtermann Nugget then, and still, the world’s largest gold nugget at Hill End on 19 October 1872.
