Qantas DH84 VH-URV PNG accident 1951 - Book query

Hi all
Does anyone recall the title of a book that describes the crash of DH84 VH-URV that was operating for Qantas? The aircraft crashed in 1951 in PNG at a place called Yarramunda. Apparently there is a photo of the crash site. The book would be over 20 years old. A friend is asking if anyone has the photo or would know what the book is called. Apparently it has "Gold" in the title and might be about Qantas operations in PNG. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Thanks Wally

Apparently that is not it. I don't have the book to confirm though.

Cheers
Tony
