A century-old mystery solved: a 1911 diary found in an English archive, unsigned and anonymous, has been traced to young engineer Gordon Howard Tilly, who penned vivid daily observations from Australia’s gold rush town Kalgoorlie-Boulder. Through a six-month international detective effort, volunteers transcribed his handwritten entries, revealing a thoughtful, teetotaling observer fascinated by local life — far from the stereotypical miner. Tilly’s brief stint in Australia preceded his return to England, where he fought in WWI. His diary now stands as a rare, intimate window into a vanished era.
