Clive Morton’s account Almost all mentions of the Gordonvale scarab say that it was found when digging a well in 1910, 1911 or 1912.  In a paper held by the Mulgrave Settlers Museum local historian and author Clive Morton offered a slightly different account.  [&#8230;]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=secretvisitors.wordpress.com&#038;blog=14760738&#038;post=1321&#038;subd=secretvisitors&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
