Author’s Note

For those readers who are new to Indonesia, The Philippines and the Malay Archipelago, or unfamiliar with Australian slang, there is a glossary at the back of this book, following the Postscript.

The use of italicised dialogue is deliberate – this indicates that the characters are, in fact, conversing in their own tongues.

This story is a work of fiction. The inspiration for this novel was based on events surrounding the infamous, billion-dollar BRE-X gold fraud, and the determined few who recklessly destroyed so many lives and severely impacted on indigenous cultures with their all-consuming quest for gold, in Kalimantan, Indonesian Borneo.

The characters as depicted in Indonesian Gold and the events recorded in this book are not intended to reflect any association with any real person in any way, with the exception of those characters whose names are accurately recorded.
