Beyond Hell's Gate

Overview

A film about the rediscovery of the infamous opening into the Palmer River goldfields of northern Queensland by three young explorers on trail bikes. This documentary reveals, in graphic detail, the trials and tribulations—from bushrangers to cannibals—that faced Chinese and European gold prospectors at the end of the 19th century, and we meet the last lone prospector who still seeks his fortune in this almost forgotten part of Australia.
