Online: The Robbery of the McIvor Gold Escort (Tales from Rat City)

Our second episode presented by Tales From Rat City is "The Robbery of the McIvor Gold Escort."
In the early days of the Victorian Gold Rush, gold and cash were transported by both private and government escorts, guarded against attack by well-armed mounted troopers.

In episode 2 of Love, Ballarat, we will talk about one of the few gold escort robberies that was successful - and the grisly consequences!
