Here's an interesting doc to accompany your story. https://www.resourcesandgeoscience.nsw.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0011/109775/nerriga-gold-deposits.pdf

The deactivated and drained old reservoir contains a nice bush walk and bike track as I discovered recently. There are many old rivulets and feeds into what is now a dry clay pan. And I can't help but think of the lots of gold bits that must have been sluiced down the hill over the years...

These are good: http://www.arkcorp.com.au/c/37/arkpak-portable-power Mine has a slightly used car battery in it and works fine. As for solar panels I have: https://www.projecta.com.au/solar-panels-controllers Look under the section "soft folding kits" and select....again, mine is 12V 120W...

For general charging of gear don't use a generator. Genny negatives -only charges while it runs - does not store electricity -have to carry fuel -noise/fumes -some sites wont allow them Genny positives -good for high current draw gear such as power tools -doesn't need sun -delivers 240 V so...

Good articles thanks for showing me...bought the ATX on a whim and looking at the tube vids on river gold sniping it may stay in the car. Sniping looks more a visual technique...we'll see in October when I get back from hiking in Spain :)

looks promising...... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xzCT_nmVHM

Yeah good point - I have an ATX rated to 10 foot/3M, so that will have to do, and can invest in a waterproof pointer so should be right...at least it's fresh water so if the poo hits the fan the electrics might dry out rather than fry... Will revisit this when the weather warms up a bit!

So one of my other interests is diving...walking up the Turon river recently I thought to come back in the warmer weather with a wetty and diving gear. Surely this must be a good way to get in among the bedrock crevices? I've not heard anyone doing the same thing so thought to see if anyone's...

Yet another trove of great historical records relating to our goldfields and their early administrators....great reading :)

tHIS CONTAINS SOME VERY READABLE AND CLEAR EXPLANATIONS (Oopps caps lock on) so thanks heaps for posting it !

Awesome reading list Jemba especially on my favourute area - the Turon :) Hopefully Google mighr find a few of these. Thanks for posting!

small, light (300kgs less than a pajero with same size donk), offroad capable....but stil only a waypoint en route to the UNIMOG!!! Ha ahAAAAAAAA.....

The A$ on thleft and what appears to be something Italian on the right....the only Italian I know is "Inuendo" which I'm told is Italian for "suppository" Maybe.... :lol:

A few bits of junk from an old Army training ground in Sydney. The coagulated lump is a buckle and the dangly things are radio/electronics dust caps. Most impressive is the 55 gram lead projectile - sure wouldn't want to be on the wrong end of that!

...spotted you on the north steyne, would have said hi but had to get a wiggle on to meet a mate at the skiffy for lunch and coldies.....

Hi not sure where to put his post.... Gotta be in / around Katoomba tomorrow for the day tomorrow and thinking of chucking the defector in the truck.... Other than the obvious off limits Nat Park and usual no-go zones - if there anywhere up there worth a swing? Will be driving up from Manly...

If you're working the North end of Manly I'll be able to see you out the balcony... Saw a bloke at Shelly the other day with an Excalibur underwsater thingo he was snorkelling with it...interesting... Also I have a bit of an idea...the old Artillirty barracks at N Head must have some hidden...

@ Heatho....am in Manly on North Steyne but being a Wuss It's been too bloody hot lately to go swinging.....however with the southerly change I'm beginning to wake up...I fancy a swing at Long Reef as I hope it has less messy tourists chucking out metal litter and more locals losing intersting...

Insane checmicals but impressive results....... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xhz0sgfYD8M
