Wikipedia

“A Miner’s Luck tells the story of a miner swindled out of his gold claim. The film, whose director is not credited, makes realistic use of its bush settings. This is one of the very few dramatic films made in Australia before 1913 that survive in a substantially complete form.
Surviving reels from this film screened as part of ‘Cinema’s Golden Summer: The Birth of the Feature Film in Australia and the World, 1910-1913’ at Arc Cinema in Canberra.”
