A group of rowdy blokes head out west to discover the hidden gems hiding under the surface at Rubyvale, Queensland, and dive into an experience that has drawn settlers, fossickers and Chinese tourists for more than 150 years. On their way they discover the secrets of Central Highlands towns Rubyvale, Sapphire, Anakie and Emerald and dig a big ole' hole in a mad search for brilliant bijous.

Filmed in Rubyvale and Maclagan, Queensland, Australia.

Filming was conducted in accordance with government recommendations regarding COVID-19.
