This video exists for educational purposes. The audio, which was poor in the original footage, has been significantly restored. The film has been artificially colorized and edited. On-screen historical context and lyrics have been added.

Please turn on subtitles if you are struggling to understand the conversation at 2:30. If you are able to clarify any of the missing parts, it would be helpful to share this information in the comments.

As some people have pointed out in the comments, the lyrics at 3:25 should be ‘spring gully clear’, as ‘gullies’ are apparently where gold was found.

The line at 5:48 may be ‘at the sun they take a look’.
