    Nervous time in Yamba

    The van's all packed and both cars are loaded in readiness. The fire from Shark Creek has been singeing the paintwork of Wooloweyah and Angourie homes and has jumped the towns and is now only about 2km from here.

    Australia's deepest gold mine

    Interesting article about Gwalia and how deep the mine goes. I'm not sure whether to believe their comment of "For every tonne trucks cart to the surface there might be only seven grams of gold, the equivalent of about one teaspoon. ". I doubt that they would stay in business too long with...

    Fat bottomed bike seat.

    I love my mountain bike! The only problem was that my ummm err ... family jewels didnt. Ive got front suspensions and seat post suspension but somehow Id (they) would end up with a battering that brought tears to my eyes. This inhibited my rides and I would often get off my bike bow legged as...

    Accountancy question

    I've never had accountancy lessons although I'm fairly familiar with profit and loss procedures, but I would like to know what an operating margin is. And would you consider 57% as being a healthy "operating margin" for a very large business?

    Centrifuge

    This might sound stoopid, but following on a previous topic about breaking down clay, has anybody tried using centrifugal force to separate gold from other heavies, particularly black sand? After all, gold is the heaviest of the material that we find and theoretically it should be able to be...
