    Pine Creek NT Northern Territory information and questions

    Hi. Just got into Darwin and looking at detecting around the Pine Creek area. Does anyone have contact details for land owners or lease holders who are willing to allow a novice like myself detect around some likely spots? Would love to find somewhere you can camp amd prospect from.

    Anyone long term Cycling Across Australia witha bicycle?

    Strangest place to see a bike rider would have to be on a trip I did last year where I drove the Tanami track from Alice Springs to Halls Creek. I was about 300 ks into the trip driving over fairly rough gravel with bull dust holes and corrugations interspersed with dry deep ruts left by heavy...
