Hmm. You may wish to dig a bit deeper into the provenance of this story. This Ernest apparently went prospecting for opals in the "Nagrom Valley". Not only does there appear to be no such place in Australia, the eagle-eyed amongst you will spot that Nagrom is Morgan spelled backwards.

I am reliably informed by a long-time member of MOCA (Morgan Owner's Club of Australia) that the story is a hoax.
