Rudi Paoletti's "Gold for the Taking" book A Pictorial history of the Heyday of the Walhalla - Wood's Point Gold Belt: 1860's - 1960's Gold for the Taking was published for all Australians who were saddened to see our history fade away. The book compliments Rudi Paoletti's other publications and maps, as all the townships, hotels, mines, restaurants, shanty's, etc, are plotted on his maps for all to rediscover and absorb once again in our history. During the mid to late 1850's gold miners were making their way up the Big and Goulburn Rivers striking payable ground at regular intervas. Parties of adventurous prospectors kept advancing up the wild and remote valley to the junction of two main headwater tributaries of the Gulburn River where some phenomenally rich gold was discovered in 1861. This was at what we now know as Wood's Point, named after a pioneering storekeeper of the district named Harry Wood.
