Diggers Wedding
This digger has obviously struck gold and has come back to Melbourne to be married in style. While he may have money, he lacks fashion sense: he is wearing a formal black silk top hat and a silk cravat with a jewelled pin, along with the rough clothes he would wear on the goldfields.
