[QUOTE="Eric2017, post: 350769, member: 9216"] Hit the tracks for an explore today. First stop we tried to find the old turquoise mine. As we found out later as noted in this thread it is on private property. So we did a bit of 4wd. Heard there was old gold mines along Lawsons Creek so headed in the direction. Stopped at the creek to have a look, not easily accessible and was out with thr family. Ran into some locals out 4wding there and had a good chat. The track near Lawsons Creek which is now blocked off, used to have a crusher for a gold mine on it. Will have to get back there and walk in for a look. Headed back via a track which was closed on advice from the local couple. Soon found out why. Track was washed away and a very steep long drop. Managed to just squeeze the big GU by it. My son had a bit of a freak out when he looked down! Wound up having a pan along Billa Bilba Creek, didnt find anything but a great day out exploring. [/QUOTE]
