The forest country is countless thousands of acres and the old bush fellars have some unusual tails of the bush anything possible out there i guess. They also have some handy info too. The house is in a about 150 acre clearing and when you get on the quad and ride for half day on a forest trail...

Ha Ha...I've jinxed myself now i'll be out in the forest with the MD and the dogs will hide under the ute and notice an eerie silence and that musty smell in the air. GRRRRROOOOW. LOL. Mick.

When i was a young fellar on the farm in central west NSW you always had big brother and his mates ready to set you up for another one of their tricks and i have to admit they were creative. Even my cousins visits from boarding school were not spared; like out rabbiting one moon lit night and...

Hey Josh i was about to post a similar expression of interest. I have been researching for a few years now and have built and bought some equipment. A long story but i found it difficult to operate solo and of course in some remote areas the risks need to be considered. I admire your enthusiasm...

Yeah you got a point there Blisters.Corporate info is stolen due to complacency but we have been pushed from paper towards the PC for nearly everything these days. Something as simple as a service manual in the forgotten my docs/technical folder ,it's that easy. In the electronics game if you...

Yeah there is so much going on these days it's a worry. Where i worked in the Pilbra on the CITIC Pacific i was told from many sources senior management to contractors that the Chinese had spent an enormous amount of money on the project. The figure was about $11.6 billion. So i did some reading...

Atom Rat' Yeah mate that's what i'm trying to achieve and i was also inspired by you tube demonstration. I got a little gear motor from Jaycar and speed controller for a trommel wheel. I have tested with solar panel and plenty of power with 60w, although a little big for transport and got a...

I though the 1936 penny was valuable? My old man always told me that...or was it the shilling. Does anyone know more about it.

"Hackers steal $160 billion worth of intellectual property from Western companies every year, according to cyber-security experts". Yep i've seen this activity in the telecommunications industry. Another favorite activity is they let you do the contracted equipment installation work and then NOT...

Hey fellars i've been working on a prototype mini under sluice and just a few adjustments should be getting results. I've tried to keep a portable concept so easily transported on the quad bike. There are some formulas to work out the trough depth water flow rate but i found it easier to trial...

The two de watering plants are six stories high and from second level was iron clad. The temps in there were above sixty and that's dangerous as your body starts cooking at 60 Deg. They had to cut big holes in the sheeting to get some air in. Just extreme heat and humidity from the cape. There...

Scrounger! Yeah fair comment just feeling cold all the time. I guess out Pilbra way anywhere else below is cold. It took some time to adjust to days of average 45 Deg and hottest about 52 Deg Steel was above 70-80 Deg just managing the heat rash water intake and heat fatigue. Just watch ya mates...

Just registered and after fumbling around i managed to post my introduction. I've just got back from the Pilbara mining and just trying to acclimatise from extreme heat to cold Brizzy. I've found some motivation to share similar prospecting interests and ideas. I have read lots of books and...
