RIP Jack, a true icon of the bush, loved his shows. :flowers: :flowers:
just starting said:Was it Jack`s studio that got burnt down last year and people were carting his paintings outside to save them while the fire was raging ?
Outback said:Just to add a story about Jack & gold .
I was around his place about 10 years ago , Jack was already over 80 years at the time but still sharp .
He showed me a couple of old tobacco tins full of little bits of gold , said these were just a fraction of what he had picked up on just one trip !
Pro Hart was a mate of Jack , he Imported one of the first early metal detectors that had a a chance of finding gold , soon after there release in the USA .
Jack borrowed Pro's detector & went up to Tiboobburra .
Part 2 coming if any interest ? :|
