    Lightning Ridge/Grawin NSW information and questions

    Thanks goldtruck. I have a couple of blacklights so that sounds like a plan. The old boy thinks hes only 60 and always keen to have a go. Are there plenty of places to go noodling without getting shot at?

    WARNING TO FOSSICKERS ABOUT NSW SLUICING DEVELOPMENTS
