    NSW Highbanking - what is the current state of play?

    ps..: In Switzerland we do "gravity dredging". Maybe that would be suitable? :) Like a long hose with a good diameter that feeds the Sluice or the Highbanker with water in a suitable terrain.

    But it is possible to attent "live" in person on an auction while we are in Perth right? Regarding your link, "purchased 3 years ago by mining company" - you assume that because of the decal "SAExploration" on the car or am I missing something?

    Thank you! Yea this is exactly what I am already thinking about - The trailer/camper point.

    What Car, what brands do you trust for the Outback?

    Most of the time ~9-10 month we will be 2 persons. and ~2-3 month my Wife and kid are planning to visit us. So a 4-5 seat car would be best to fit the visit scenario but the focus of the adventure is searching gold with just the two of us :) Thanks for your other tips. We already have them in...
