Hey Dave Stu and Warren saw the critter & I grabbed the fone and went after him. Solid lil' bugger!!

Thanx for sharing the past with us sam-u-al. I was relieving in my HEC job in the mid 80's and spent some time at Tullah, that pub sure was a gold mine. I guess that there's no places like that left nowadays with focus on OH&S, etc.

Lucky to find this once in a lifetime!

G'day Macka. My mate Laurie may have a copy of this issue, he gave me a stack of old mags to go thru from 70's & 80's when I was laid up last year. See how you go. Mod edit: email sent to Mackka

Hi All, just wanted to add my 5cents worth to the discussion. I only ended up with a tendon and kneecap reconstruction after falling backwards onto a pile of rocks in Jan 2021. Lucky I had mates out in the bush at the time cos I was in Shit Steet. Had surgery and am still wobbly when walking...

I just wanted to give my 2 cents worth to the discussion. When I got my last Miners Right (pre 10 years job) a small booklet was provided which listed the 100 or so Victorian rivers, streams, etc. where fossicking is verboten. Do you have a Miners Right?

hi mudgee hunter if I can please the old boiler then I'll be in good shape (but for how long)? I hope that someone on the Forum can point me in the right direction or even provide me with something. This is my best reward so far digging or swinging so it is special. 2.7ct cut sapphire...

Hi Folks I'm treating myself to a holiday and heading interstate to Tarnagulla Vic with my caravan (non off road) in 2 months. Looking at a map of Long Bush Goldfield, this area has a camping ground off Centre Dam Rd. Does anyone have any info about this? It will be cooler & wetter so access &...

The DMP officers can provide you with printed colour maps (on the day) at no charge if you ask nicely. Don't forget to ask for A3 if their printer available can provide that size. Good luck. Ron

Thanks again Beagle for your comments. I see that many have looked into water before using pvc & perspex, some too with cameras. I have loads of 50, 90 & 100mm in the garage, but again like most who posted in the forum - no perspex. I did not mention in the previous post that the usb colour...
