[QUOTE="aussiefarmer, post: 630694, member: 5729"] Haha , best advice I can give is stop watching TV shows , get a good trade , marry a beautiful woman and buy a house in a good area and let prospecting be a hobby not an obsession. :lol: ;) But it sounds like it's to late already :( you have caught the fever, being 15 I suggest you spend 12 months learning as much as you can about opals and geology. Knowledge is power and you will need a skill set to go out there and mine, my suggestions are Prospecting Mining Camping General bush skills Cooking Survival 1st aid Off road driving Basic mechanics and repairs Life experience/people skills There's a few opal hunters on here at times I suggest you use the search function and start learning, Have you grown up going camping etc in the bush ? If not that would be a great thing to get into before travelling 10hours to find you need to bury your poop and be self sufficient. [/QUOTE]
