Liik93
The Welcome Stranger was the largest gold nugget ever found and recorded. It measured 61 cm by 31 cm and was discovered by John Deason and Richard Oates at Moliagul, western Victoria, Australia on 5 February 1869 about 9 miles north-west of Dunolly and half-way between Maryborough and St Arnaud. It was found only 5cm below the surface on a slope leading to what was then known as Bulldog Gully and it weighed 2316 troy ounces or 72.04 kg. The finders were paid £19,068.
The Welcome Stranger is not the same as the Welcome Nugget found in Ballarat in 1858 which was the largest single nugget prior to the discovery of the Welcome Stranger.
