[QUOTE="Beagleboy, post: 120705, member: 1151"] I love the history of Australia and it plays a big part in why I like prospecting. The other think that amazes me when you look at old pictures is the lack of trees and vegetations. There are no blackberries or any other rubbish weeds to be seen. They used timber for making stuff, building, heating and their steam engines. I believe the old timers looked after the land better than we do today in spite of the logging. There would not be so much bush fire danger like it is today with everything overgrown and un managed. [/QUOTE]
