ajch-35305 Well, what can I say about Australia's Lost Gold? It is a spectacular real life treasure hunt set in the vast Australian outback. From the start, I was quite interested in the possibility of a massive reef of gold hidden from civilization. The director of the film, Luke Walker, sets out searching for clues to help Bob, the son of the famous Harold Lasseter, in his quest to find his father's gold. Constantly throughout the film, their quest is slandered by people who said that Harold was a liar. The film takes many twists and turns, and just when all hope seems lost, a new clue is uncovered. In the outback they meet a tribe of Aborigines that guide them as well as tell them of their accounts with Harold Lasseter many years ago. The director does an incredible job in preserving the Aboriginal culture, and taking care not to disturb what they hold dear. The wonderful vistas of the Australian landscape transports the viewer into Luke and Bob's world, rooting for them to find the gold.

SophiaWhite232 Australia's Lost Gold has officially been added to my list of favorite independent films! I love independent films like this that intertwine culture and history with a great story line. It's exciting to be able to explore and learn about different cultures through film. Audiences have the opportunity to visit places around the world that they may never have the opportunity to visit. Australia's Lost Gold explores the famous Australian legend of undiscovered gold in the Central Australian Desert. I don't know many people who get the opportunity to visit Australian deserts in their lifetime but as I was watching the film, I felt like I was there. Throughout the documentary, director Luke Walker does an outstanding job of immersing his audience into the Australian culture. From personal interviews with townspeople to the interactions with Aborigine's from the desert, you really feel like you get an understanding of the people that live there. Thanks to Luke's superb directing, the film is packed with great shots of the country's landscape that allows the audience to see what "down under" really means. In addition to the beautiful culture portrayed in the film, the story-line is just as intriguing. It's an exciting plot that takes you on the quest for not just undiscovered gold, but the truth. I definitely recommend watching it if you're looking for a great new movie to add to your list.

henrykimball With gripping film-work by Director Luke Walker and Bob Lasseter's unwavering charisma, you can't help but fall in love with the Legend of Lasseter's Bones. As the two traverse the deadly landscapes of the Australian desert you find yourself not only rooting for the duo, but feeling as if you're travelling beside them. The journey to find the reef transforms into an adventure that has you creating a mental whiteboard full of connected dots and loose ends. You feel the frustration that the cast does when a trail runs dry, and the overwhelming joy when you find yourself a step closer to the fortune. Australia's Lost Gold is a treasure hunt on the surface, a personal journey at heart, and most of all, a film definitely worth the watch.

john dunne I signed up to IMDb in order to review this documentary and hopefully save someone else from wasting their time. How almost nine hundred people can give this an average of over nine out of ten makes me question if the maker of the film has a very large extended family because as documentary's go this is incredibly dull. I wont spoil it but after the first ten minutes I spent the next hour and a half saying to myself this cant be all there is to this story, it was. The only people who seemed to be mesmerized was the crazed old man and the filmmaker, sunk cost bias, by the end I actually felt sorry he wasted two years of his life on this. Want some suspense from a doc try "The Staircase" and avoid this.
