    GPX Battery & GPX Control Box Cover

    Terry, My unit is a GPX4500 which I believe will suit all GPX models. It is definitely NOT a chinese knock off.

    Norther new south wales

    I don't think there's much around Byron, you'd need to go a fair bit further north. However heading back south, as Mbasko suggested, it's worth a look around the Mudgee district (Hargreave, Windyer, Sofala). The guys at Central West Prospecting in Mudgee will give some ideas on areas to look...
