g,day all, tried hard all week to get to 100 nuggets and 2 ounces of gold but failed by 5 nuggets and 2 grams, total gold is 95 nuggets and 60.37 grams, still a great effort and ill be back there sunday arvo as i think theres still some good ground id like to cover. if you want you can look on google earth and see where i found the gold, [ text me and ill give ya lat & long ] the nights are getting colder as we get the east winds which blow off the deserts which get very cold at night and fire season is also over and time to start having campfires and toasted spagetti s/w on the fire, there are plenty of creek crossings and these are mostly dry except for one which had water running but i got through it ok, normally they close the road but there must have been just a local downpoor so it wasnt to deep, there are some great looking gum trees around these creeks and thats the only place they grow, after one or two days next week at my patch i intend to move about 5 ks east to another abandoned gold mine and give that a go and the track in looks like no one has been down there for a long time, there is also a hill nearby which i intend to climb and take some pics and just have a look around, i will be in town until sunday morning.
