A BRISBANE man got the shock of his life after discovering a gold mine in his suburban backyard.

It was certainly not in the fine print that he was sitting on a gold mine when he took over the property located just 20km from the Brisbane CBD, according to Anthony Doolin.

He was out exploring his 16.5 hectares of land when he literally stumbled upon the mine shaft.

“We weren’t told about it, we just found it there one day,” Mr Doolin said.

“I nearly fell over, I just pictured Indiana Jones and underground railroads.”
