I began researching “Snow, Fire and Gold – the story of Bill Spargo and Evelyn Piper’s life in the Australian mountains” – back in 1987. Over the course of that time, I have amassed a vast amount of information about Bill and Evelyn, and the people who knew them. This takes the form of photographs, documents and recordings of interviews. I could only include a fraction of the photos in the book, and none of the other information at all. That is why I have created this website. If you have read “Snow, Fire and Gold”, and want to know more about the life and times of these remarkable people, then this website is for you!

You will see I have created separate pages for the photos and the documents. These are further categorised. There is another page where you can listen to all the recordings. I hope to add more information over time.
