Good show :Y: watch it two or three times and read the subtitles they are hilarious :lol:

Nice green stone featured at the end

Good to see a familiar face pop up, I was lucky to have a yarn with Jim the Gem a number of years ago

Great to see Bill Dawson from Billabong Blue in the vid too, a nicer bloke you will not find.

Thanks for posting that vid Mr Magoo.

That first wash plant was an interesting one to break up the clay. I've done a bit of water blasting on the wash plant at Billabong, it's more of a traditional trommel with pulsator setup.

Someone found an 87ct stone there about 6 months ago, Bill offered to buy it from them but they turned down his offer, must have been a nice stone...... I saw picture of it but it wasn't the best shot.
