[QUOTE="grubstake, post: 642650, member: 4012"] Back in July 1982, Inglewood was the first Victorian goldfield I ever saw and I was 100% lost and totally confused by it! Perhaps not as much though as the Pommie backpacker I found scratching around at the bottom of a recently-excavated pit. When I asked what he was doing, he said he'd been drinking in the pub the night before and one of the locals had told him there was always some gold still to find, as the oldtimers never got the last ounce. He'd taken that casual remark literally and explained to me that he was looking for 'the last ounce'! 🤭 [/QUOTE]
