	'''''The Aussie Goldmine''''' is an upcoming webcomic written and illustrated by [[NeonWabbit\|Darien Brice Dickinson]] (a.k.a. NeonWabbit) under his [[Studio RGB-Newt / The Fishal Project]] brand, self-published on multiple social media accounts, webcomic hosting services (such as Naver WEBTOON, Tapas, NamiComi, and ComicFury), and self-hosted on [[~~RedGreenBlue~~.art]] using the Comix Cleric web framework.

	Originally envisioned as a collaborative animated series that anyone could contribute stories to, but later brought back under NeonWabbit's control as a solo effort, the comic follows the adventures of an eccentric kangaroo, [[Gerald Symons]], who accidentally awakens the magical ghost of an emu, named [[Aurora Australis]], while digging for gold and cracking open a geode with his pickaxe. When the crystals of said geode aren't shined upon by sun or moonlight (i.e. stuffed inside a cabinet, or in a building with no windows), Aurora immediately disappears and goes into a stasis state.

	The original designs for ''The Aussie Goldmine'' characters were sketched up in 2017, and further refined in 2018, during NeonWabbit's classes at Raffles College. Gerald was originally a nerdy-type who would wear t-shirts referencing various [[Studio RGB-Newt / The Fishal Project]] productions, and even owned a body pillow of [[Nyah]] from ''[[Nyah Has an Adventure]]''. Aurora on the other hand was a nurse during The Emu War. A coloured version of Aurora in this original beta design ended up on the album cover of the single release for [[The Neoclassics]]' "[[Put Down Your Pickaxe]]", the theme song of an attempt at starting an animated series for ''The Aussie Goldmine'' in the late 2010s.
