western australia trip GOLD in them HILLS
« on: June 25, 2012, 01:41:20 AM »
 :)
well come thursday im off to wa to do some gold detecting.  last stop at nullagine to stock up on water and food I hope. then travel out 80 k to set up camp.

its a safari. i have arranged to buy the last 5000 detector in australia at the monent for

$6600.

picked up new caravan last wednesday..
  G2 with around australia pack. franklin by concept kratzmann caravans burpengary.

i have been very busy of late setting up things for the trip.
i will post pic of van soon and will give a run down of the trip as i go provided i get internet.hope so so i can apply for my retirement package while in WA

new caravans well they all have problems and this one is no different no matter how much you pay for a caravan.

nuts and bolts rusty radio .aerial rusty bad design bracket holding the spare wheel with jerry cans.

3 caravans leaving brisbane and need to be in nullagine on the 18th july. slow easy travel.

sapphire claim will have to wait as the ground is still wet at washpool and my hole is full of water AGAIN retreat creek is not good and will only get worst with the next flood. repair work will be left up to those who are out there at the time???

my claim is up for sale lock stock and barrell walk in walk out

serious i will sell every thing that is there is in the price

the 7x4 trailer is not for sale it has to go back to moranbah so i can shift some furnture.

Hi Snappa. Nullagine, one of my old stamping grounds in the 80s.
I'm not sure if you have been there before.
Was the back of beyond and a fairly rough place and a good pair of eyes in the back of your head helped to save your gear. I was in the old pub ( built of tin and railway sleepers) when one of the local unmentionables approached me and asked me if I wanted to buy a pair of boots..............MY BOOTS ! haha.

Plenty of rock carving around to look at, save taking the TV.

Keep your eyes around at the bottom of the boulders, diamond ground.

Let me know if the mining company GOLD SPEC are still operating out there Mate.

Good hunting and take care. beers
If confusion is an indication of knowledge then I must be a genius.
