Synopsis

Aussie Gold Hunters is an unscripted, character-based factual series, set against the epic backdrop of the goldfields of Western Australia and Victoria.

In this, our fourth series, we follow five teams of gold-hungry prospectors – tracking their progress over their season-long gold hunt.

We share the highs and lows of the gold season as our teams pursue their all-important targets – braving brutal heat, dangerous conditions, mechanical breakdowns and the constant pressure from attempting to carve out a living in the precarious hunt for gold.

Filmed in Western Australia and Regional Victoria and Post-Produced In Western Australia

Electric Pictures acknowledges the traditional owners of the lands on which this program was filmed.
