Mount Browne station, milparinka.....is it back open?

[Jadenflair]

Hey forum,

I was wondering if anyone had heard whether the property at mount Browne in milparinka has re-opened? It was a great spot to camp and go detecting, the last I heard was a lease holder pulled rank, any got the place shut down to visitors because people were detecting were they weren't suppose too? Which was a real bummer!!! :|

Don't think so ! If you rang the roadhouse at Packsaddle they could probably tell you

Cheers mate, have you been out there before?

G'day

I was out there at the end of June. Mt Browne and Mt Poole stations were still closed. Everyone knows about Mt Browne and Mt Poole is shut due to a claim on the Good Friday diggings. Mt Stuart and Gumvale are open as is the Common. There is a LOT of ground out there to swing. Nearly every bit we got was less than 2" deep or almost sunbakers. Goodluck if you go. Swing low and slow, scro

Cheers

Chimpy

Tibooburra treasure...

not a good haul for ten days.. but I am still a novice... I had nine pieces for 1.5gms. I reckon I would get four times that now for the same effort... we found a good spot at Gum Vale, but late. still... I got me first nugget.

dead right..

Tibooburra was tough. Great experience, like, but I come back nackered.

I can't get over the tops for another three weeks, but I want you to help me sort out a venue... I thought that I would keep banging away at Wattle Flat until I get to know some locals and possible get an invite onto private land...

Mate I've got some venues in mind but not having much luck lately - also struggling for time, especially on weekends at the moment. Keep me posted & I'll be right in a few weeks for a couple of weekends I think. Next couple are definitely no good.
