The Larkinville goldfield is located in the Shire of Coolgardie, between Widgiemooltha and Spargoville. The largest gold nugget found in Australia in the 20th century, the Golden Eagle, was discovered in the Larkinville rush. This book covers in detail the 1930s at Larkinville. It contains a systematic collection of reports of the rush, descriptions of 'Larkinville City', details of all the known nuggets found there including the Golden Eagle, biographies of many of the prospectors (well indexed), and an examination of the prospecting schemes and political efforts to counteract the depression. The Eagles Nest is heavily illustrated with more than 150 photographs and maps.
